sometimes. Most of the time cron is in a control panel and can be somewhat easily modified. I think virgohippy has a regular cron call a 'wrapper' that he has decide what needs to be executed -- so that way, his cron entry never changes and he can just modify his script to do whatever actions he requires.

Generally though, cron isn't as difficult as a lot of people make it out to be.
