I'm a firm believer in E.F.Schumacher's saying "Give a man a fish and you've fed him for a day. Teach him to fish and you've fed him for life". This approach also applies to systems administration. In this case knowing how path and cron work and knowing which tools let you investigate problems in that area are sysadmin essentials, so IME helping people investigate for themselves is always preferable to simply giving them the answer.
