High load in the morning?

[urbee]

Hello.

I'm seeing high load on my machine, running virtual servers (vps) in the mornings (like just now?), but when i check the servers i see only the ones running directadmin giving me high load.

This is the processes i'm seeing with ps aux:

root 27301 0.0 0.0 2480 892 ? D 05:22 0:00 /USR/SBIN/CRON
root 27804 0.0 0.0 2480 892 ? D 05:23 0:00 /USR/SBIN/CRON
root 27805 0.0 0.0 2480 892 ? D 05:23 0:00 /USR/SBIN/CRON
root 28477 0.0 0.0 2480 888 ? S 05:24 0:00 /USR/SBIN/CRON
root 28478 0.0 0.0 2480 888 ? S 05:24 0:00 /USR/SBIN/CRON
root 29694 0.0 0.0 2480 888 ? S 05:25 0:00 /USR/SBIN/CRON
root 29695 0.0 0.0 2480 888 ? S 05:25 0:00 /USR/SBIN/CRON
root 30465 0.0 0.0 2480 888 ? S 05:26 0:00 /USR/SBIN/CRON
root 30466 0.0 0.0 2480 888 ? S 05:26 0:00 /USR/SBIN/CRON
root 31029 0.0 0.0 2480 888 ? S 05:27 0:00 /USR/SBIN/CRON
root 31030 0.0 0.0 2480 888 ? S 05:27 0:00 /USR/SBIN/CRON
root 31650 0.0 0.0 2480 892 ? D 05:28 0:00 /USR/SBIN/CRON

but then ...
bash: /USR/SBIN/CRON: No such file or directory

? I dont understand? why is it with big letters? why is there so many of it (i just pasted a bit) its taking my load up to the sky (And its a quad core machine!).

Thanks for ur answers..

Doesn't look like there are too many actual answers floating around the internet.
