OK, I see that you are running cron as yourself (Administrator).
The problem is that you have several cron running, probably from
the time when you were running cron manually
2116 1 2116 2116 ? 500 13:49:24 /usr/sbin/cron
I 3664 2116 2116 3664 ? 500 05:00:01 /usr/sbin/cron
I 3896 2116 2116 3896 ? 500 05:00:01 /usr/sbin/cron
I 3464 2116 2116 3464 ? 500 06:00:01 /usr/sbin/cron
Kill them all and run cron-config again, keeping (not removing) the existing service.
