How to check the version of cron that is running?
how can I check which version of Cron is currently installed and running on my host? I can't seem to find a command that will allow to me see which version is running. They all seem to just show that cron is running or not running.
Thanks!

You have to be more specific next time and say the OS you're using, what you have tried, etc. I guess what you need to know is the version of the package that gives you the ability to schedule a cron, if so, in a RedHat variant like CentOS6 you can query the package as follows:
[root@server1 ~]# rpm -qa|grep -i cronie
cronie-anacron-1.4.4-16.el6_8.2.x86_64
cronie-1.4.4-16.el6_8.2.x86_64
As you can see above, I'm running version 1.4.4. You can run rpm -qi cronie to see more info.
I hope this helps.
