Hi all,

I have a virtual private server, and I'm currently running Debian 5.0 distro of 
Linux. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I'm trying to run a cron job (simply for learning purposes at the moment). 
Typing cron at the prompt, however, yields this message:
cron: can't lock /var/run/crond.pid, otherpid may be 1130: Resource temporarily 
unavailable

If any of you are Linux administrators, I could really use your help. I attempt 
to load a cron job by issuing the command: "crontab 
<nameOfFileForCronInstructions.cron>", where that name is replaced with the 
name of the file containing the instructions for the Cron (like when and how 
long it's supposed to run and all that good stuff), however it's not working at 
the specified times, and I think the error I'm getting is the problem.

Thank you very much.
