When I login I get a UnixWare 2.1.2. Using a uname -a I get "4.2MP 2.1.2 i386 x86at" . If this helps.

if you have a directory called /etc/init.d do a "grep -i cron *" inside the directory. if there is a file which starts cron, just call it like this:
"./file start"
as user root. or maybe u can start cron just by call the cron binary (/usr/sbin/cron maybe?).
