Cron Help

I had someone convert my site to drupal and unfortunately can't reach this person anymore. I'm trying to understand how a certain cron runs. I have cron.php set up on my server to run daily, but how does this php file know what operations it's supposed to do?
Reason I ask; I have a role expiration that is supposed to happen for certain users and I'm trying to find out why users aren't expiring their roles.
Modules installed in in your
Modules installed in in your site can define a function which is called every time cron is run. In otherwords its up to individual modules to take care of their own maintenance functions during cron. If your watchdog tables and status page are telling you that cron is running correctly but the user expiration is not happening there may be a problem with whatever module is supposed to perform that action.
hope this helps
