Thanks for your response.

I'm afraid I don't have the cron logging set up. I should probably go ahead
and do it, shouldn't I?

grep logrotate /var/log/cron.log
grep: /var/log/cron.log: No such file or directory

The cron daemon is running though.

ps auxwww|grep '[c]ron'
root      2418  0.0  0.1   5464  1868 ?        Ss   08:33   0:00
/usr/sbin/crond

Thanks.
