Crontab did not fire jobs

Hello,
I have something weird that I need some solution and hope that you can help out there .

I have crontab entry and it is running everyday. Sometimes, the crontab will just hang/stale where my jobs will not be executed(of course, the user complaint, then only I know). I will need to do: crontab -e and save it to force it back in action.
1. Currently I am checking my job log file to acertain if the crontab is running or not. Is there anywhere in UNIX which allow me to see if the cron is active/hang/inactive?
2. If you encountered this situation, how do you handle that in your job?

I need your precious advice. Please help!

Thanks
Ben
