Subject: Missing file -- /etc/.cronstart

I started poking around to find out why cron doesn't get started on
a reboot.  I noticed that /etc/rc tries to execute a file called
.cronstart but it is missing on my system (version 3.0).  It is apparently
not on the foundation floppies either.  Does .cronstart just issue
the command /etc/cron or does it have other business to tend to?
Information welcome.

Thanks in advance.
