Cron checking script?

Hello,
I have noticed that the cron on my Redhat 6.0 system randomly quits running scripts. Because I cannot narrow down why it does this, I am trying to implement a quick-fix by having a [perl?] script check to see if cron is running, and if not, then start it.
Has anyone had any experience with this, and/or seen a script that can do this? With my limited knowledge of perl I was hoping to see examples before trying anything.
Thanks in advance for all replies!
-Jim
