I have noticed the a number of daemons do not start in Ubuntu 10.04 - it seems the since version 6 Ubuntu users upstart. So I have created a temporary fix until it gets sorted.
as root in /etc/init create a file called temp-fix.conf with the following contents:
# Fixes failure to start a number of services in Ubuntu 10.04
#
description "10.04 fixer"
start on (local-filesystems
and started dbus)
stop on stopping dbus
exec /usr/bin/temp-fix-startup.sh
#end of file
Now in /usr/bin create a file called temp-fix-startup.sh and it should look like

I think that you can start up any of the services you may want including cron
I know this is a bit of a hack, but works for me
