[Wolves] Baffled by cron (eedjit alert)

I'm running Ubuntu Hoary.  I can't get my head round cron at all - it
doesn't appear to be working.

I looked at this:

http://www.unixgeeks.org/security/newbie/unix/cron-1.html

for an intro to cron.  I try:

bogl at bogubu:~$ ps aux | grep crond
bogl       699  0.0  0.0   3032   724 pts/0    S+   17:15   0:00 grep
crond

...and that's all I get.  So then I try:

bogl at bogubu:~$ sudo crond
Password:
sudo: crond: command not found

Any cron jobs I try setting up using kcron do nothing.

I have googled and tried to R T fine M, but can't see what is up.

What am I doing wrong?

Paul
