You should be able to clear the file safely with something like ">
/var/adm/cron/log".
You don't normally get anything other than the message when cron is started,
(normally at boot). I have seen error messages when sendmail hasn't been
working, or there have been memory and other problems preventing new
processes being forked. It's not a file I normally pay any attention to,
though.

Subject: cron not logging
The last time I had something written to /var/adm/cron/log was in June when
I rebooted the box. This isn't maintained in syslogd so how do I restart
it?
