Cron stopped working after firmware update #1510

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.Firmware update.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Cron should run flexget every 10. minute.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Router: RT-N56U
3.4.3.9-095 and i also tried 3.X.3.9-091.

Computer using Windows 8 and putty.

Problem description:
After updating from 3.X.3.8-085 my cron setup has stopped working. I would 
really appreciate some support getting it to work again. Alternately a download 
link to the old 3.X.3.8-085 firmware file?

My started_script.sh

echo "*/10 * * * * /opt/bin/flexget" >> /var/spool/cron/crontabs/admin
[ -n "`pidof crond`" ] && killall -q crond
sleep 1
cron

What can i do to get i working again? I am not a skilled linux user.

Thank you for your great work with the RT-N56U.

Is this right? Flexget is not starting, and nothing is written to syslog.

Can you help me?

CRONTABS=/etc/storage/cron/crontabs/root
if [ ! -f $CRONTABS ] ; then
    echo "*/10 * * * * /opt/bin/flexget" > $CRONTABS
fi

[ -n "`pidof crond`" ] && killall -q crond
crond

I did read it, but it makes more sense the 5 time i read it.

Do i need more then:

[ -z "`pidof crond`" ] && /usr/sbin/crond

In my started_script.sh if i add "*/10 * * * * /opt/bin/flexget" in crontabs?

It does work now, and the cron task i still present after a rebot, so that is 
great.
