SUMMARY: cron FIFO corrupted ?

Well the /var/adm/cron/FIFO file looks like it's there but I cannot access
it, delete it or move it. So I moved the entire cron directory. Restored it
from backup, started cron services and everything is fine.

Original Post:
It seems we cannot restart the cron service although I don't see any
errors. The cron service is not running. When I look at the
/sbin/init.d/cron file I see that it tries to remove /var/adm/cron/FIFO
when it starts cron.
If I go in /var/adm/cron and do an ls I can see FIFO there. If I do a ls -l
I get
./FIFO not found then it lists the other files.
If I try to remove it rm FIFO I get
rm: FIFO: invalid argument.
Any ideas ?
Thanks
Francis
