[mein Vorname, zensiert],
Unfortunately, it is not clear, is cron daemon running or not. Debian uses 'cron' process name for this daemon, so you got a line corresponding to 'grep' command itself.
You may check with other command, e.g. `pidof cron`:
# pidof cron
2532
# ps -C cron
PID TTY TIME CMD
2532 ? 00:00:06 cron
Just to show you a case with `ps aufwx|grep crond` command:
# ps aufwx|grep crond
root 1359 0.0 0.1 3932 608 pts/8 R+ 04:36 0:00 | \_ grep crond
# ps aufwx|grep cron
root 27619 0.0 0.2 3716 668 pts/0 S+ 04:43 0:00 | \_ grep cron
root 2532 0.0 0.1 4548 624 ? Ss Nov21 0:06 cron
As you can see, cron daemon is running in my examples.
But in your case please check it once again.
Also please check this:
# ls -l /etc/rc?.d/*cron
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 14 2005-04-16 04:01 /etc/rc0.d/K11cron -> ../init.d/cron
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 14 2005-04-16 04:01 /etc/rc1.d/K11cron -> ../init.d/cron
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 14 2005-04-16 04:01 /etc/rc2.d/S89cron -> ../init.d/cron
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 14 2005-04-16 04:01 /etc/rc3.d/S89cron -> ../init.d/cron
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 14 2005-04-16 04:01 /etc/rc4.d/S89cron -> ../init.d/cron
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 14 2005-04-16 04:01 /etc/rc5.d/S89cron -> ../init.d/cron
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 14 2005-04-16 04:01 /etc/rc6.d/K11cron -> ../init.d/cron
And configure cron daemon in the same way if it is not configured so.
Please try to stop/start this daemon and look at /var/log/daemon file:
# invoke-rc.d cron stop
# invoke-rc.d cron start
# tail -30 /var/log/daemon
