How do I start cron on docker ubuntu base?

Viewed 32779

I have installed cron via apt-get install cron

Trying to start cron fails (as expected) because of upstart not running.

What is the command line for starting cron properly (i.e. it will read users' crontabs, will read /etc/crontab/* etc)?

Please note that I do not want to start the container as a "full" machine, so I don't want to run /sbin/init or upstart. I manage the processes via supervisord, so what I 'm missing is the command line to add to its configuration file.
