Apps :: CRON problems

When i try to run cron i get....
cron: can't lock /var/run/crond.pid, otherpid may be 592: Resource temporarily unavailable
what is the problem...
all i want to do is have ssh, monkey, and ftp to start up when i start up my computer...

add the appropriate lines to /opt/bootlocal.sh

just add /var/run/crond.pid to the bootlocal.sh?

no, the lines to start the servers you want started at boot.

yah, i know i've done that but why won't cron work?
