# ps -ef |grep cron

will show you whether or not cron is running and what time it started. The cron log is '/var/adm/cron/log'

Hi Khashru,
If ps output shows just the time, that means the process was started within the last 24 hours. If it was longer ago, then you just get the date. 'man ps' will tell you this.
