Or /etc/cron.d Look for /etc/cron.d/sysstat, in particular. That's the one thing that I know of off the top of my head that's supposed to run every 10. (or you could just do `sar`. If you get something back, that's what's running.)

Oh, silly me, this is /var/spool/cron/tabs/root. OK, so do you have something set up in /etc/crontab then?
