Yes, I did that.

Yes, I have, but it seems it has been virtual process.

I tried restarting the VPS with plain as style, but I was unable to do so.
Then I removed the style file from the guest's configuration and I
succeeded to restart the guest without an error (means that the guest has
been started by using 'sysv (default)' style). Next I entered inside the
guest and noticed that the 'cron' daemon is not started. I tried to
restart this daemon, but I did not succeed.

Sorry, for that. Yes, I meant 'cron'.
