Answers.Text: Oh - so Civi's cron has never been triggered by Drupal's cron?  I thought that was the default setup, apparently I haven't been running cron for the last 7 years. =(

Answers.Text: Note that you can run a cron to cal a specific CiviCRM job by itself as well - perhaps you've been doing that?

  I'm running CiviCRM 4.7.9 on Drupal 7.50. Drupal's cron is running fine every 3 hours, using Drupal's built-in scheduler. I can also run cron successfully manually.
  
  However, I still get the famous error message in CiviCRM saying that cron has never run:
  
  [![enter image description here](https://i.sstatic.net/HNZta.png)](https://i.sstatic.net/HNZta.png)
  
  What specifically in the database is this check looking for, and what's supposed to be creating that? Is this likely to be a problem with cron actually not running, or a problem with *detecting* whether it's run?
