Detect if Cron is Running

Many times I have code and I want to make sure it only runs in a cron context, or it never runs in a cron context.



Is there an is_cron_running style function?

    I'm a bit fed up of constantly googling for the answer to this then forgetting it, and the SEO on stack exchange is pretty good
