I have no idea what a cron job is. Sounds obscene and icky.

Yes, the deivce fully supports multi-tasking. I've tested it's multi-tasking abilities a number of times running up to 10 applications at once.
As far a Cron goes, the mailbox auto-retrieval feature is a version of Cron I suppose.

I was hoping Cron was Tron 2! Not sure what use an actual cron job could give ya on the 770...?? All I know is my web server allows cron jobs, which I guess batches server jobs.

Cron is just scheduled tasks. Alarms perhaps...

the "output" of a cron job is put in the email folder of the user account that runs the job.

In my Mandriva box (and most RH derived distros, AFAIK) you can type #service crond start|stop
for example, so calling it a service is not Redmon-centric. I would personally define a daemon as a manager of service(s); so that the crond daemon manages the cron service; the xinetd daemon may manage a lot of services, and so on. A bit OT, I guess, sorry.

service <service name> [start][stop][restart]
You are not in the audience I addressed.
