|
I've setup some scripts in /etc/cron.daily, /etc/cron.weekly, etc. How do I know if these scripts are being run daily/weekly/etc? Is there any logs created by cron to see what's being run? I'm new to using cron, so I'm not sure if I have everything being run properly.

Thanks for the suggestions, using 'grep' on the 'messages' log worked. I also found out I didn't have the system logger configured correctly. Now that I got it configured I got a 'cron.log' in the log folder that displays everything that using the 'grep' on the 'messages' log did, so everything's fine now.
Thanks a lot for the help  . |
