Operating Systems Linux Gentoo Location log after process crontab Post 302081106 by gautamatul82 on Saturday 22nd of July 2006 05:36:34 AM

Well....

if that is the case then you can look into the directory --

/var/log and you will find files by the name cron, cron.1, cron.2.....etc.

There's a size specified for the file and if it grows larger than the specified file size, then it is named as cron.<a no.> and a new file for new logs is created by the name "cron ".

Although if you want to specify a different location for the cron log files, then edit the file /etc/syslog.conf and look for the entry given for cron and edit it and specify the new location.

NAME
bcrontab - Manage users crontab files SYNOPSIS
bcrontab [ -u user ] file bcrontab [ -u user ] { -l | -r | -e } DESCRIPTION
bcrontab interfaces with the bcron-spool daemon to manage crontab files in the privileged spool directory. OPTIONS
-u user Tell bcron-spool that we are acting on behalf of the named user. bcron-spool will only accept the username if bcrontab is running as either root or the same user ID as the named user. -l List the cronab crontab to standard output. -r Remove the user's crontab. -e Edit the current crontab. ENVIRONMENT
VISUAL If this is set, it is used as the editor to invoke to edit a crontab. EDITOR If $VISUAL is not set and this is, it is used as the editor to invoke to edit a crontab. If neither are set, /bin/vi is used. BCRON_SOCKET The path to the named socket used to communicate with bcron-spool. Defaults to /var/run/bcron-spool. LOGNAME USER These two variables are used, in order, to determine the user name invoking the program. One must be set if the -u option is not used. FILES
bcrontab tries to writes a temporary file into the current directory, and then into /tmp if that fails, in order to edit the current crontab. SEE ALSO
