Ken,
I've enabled SAR on many machines without ever rebooting. I can't fathom
why the instructions say to do this.
To be absolutely sure cron picks up the new configuration you could kill
the cron process. It will restart automatically (it runs out of inittab
with a respawn option) and re-read all the crontab files.
