Running ps alone will only show your user instance of processes, not the entire list. Try "ps aux | grep crond". In any case, cron pretty much is always running. You can configure cron jobs in the /etc/crontab file. If you gave us a sample of what you wanted to have run and when, we could give you sample code to use in the crontab file.
