Why Mage::log not write any thing in my log file and also how will i check my cron is running or not. pLease help me out !!!!

cron is configured correctly on the server and cron.conf includes the magento cron.sh or cron.php ? — Christophe Ferreboeuf
@ChristopheFerreboeuf no how can i do? according to my scenario?? thanks in advanced — Priyank
It depends on your server. Additionnaly, my knowledge is not really good on that side. If you need to try anyway you can launch, cron.php in your browser. — Christophe Ferreboeuf
You've not mentioned whether you've confirmed the Magento cron itself is actually running or not. I'd advise you install AEO_Scheduler, make sure there's a heartbeat and then run your job directly from the scheduler to check it. github.com/AOEpeople/Aoe_Scheduler — McNab

You don't declare your models in your config.xml but observer is a model. You should add

<models>
        <jr_createadmincontroller>
            <class>JR_CreateAdminController_Model</class>
        </jr_createadmincontroller>
    </models>

In the global node. And change this

<run><model>createadmincontroller/observer::setStatus</model></run>

By this:

<run><model>jr_createadmincontroller/observer::setStatus</model></run>
