cron and atd services found to be stopped after a reboot

crond is stopped
bash-4.1$ sudo service atd status
atd is stopped
bash-4.1$ sudo chkconfig --list | grep -i crond
crond 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off
bash-4.1$ sudo chkconfig --list | grep -i atd
atd 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off
- Some other customer scripts also did not start.
- These were able to be manually started.
