this is because the init scripts use some fancy options to set colors.
This seems to be done by stty, which won't work on a fake tty like the
one used by cron.
I don't know why you're restarting openntpd from cron every hour though,
as it's a daemon that keeps running all the time. Restarting it has no
use.
