Checking that cron is running is easy: check_procs + check_by_ssh or
NRPE. There's not a specific plugin that can check the entries in a
users crontab but you could use check_log to see if it ran in
/var/log/cron or you could script a simple plugin to verify that the
line exists as expected in /var/spool/cron/{user}. There are probably
other ways but those two come to mind first.
