Crontab history
Hi All,

Is there any way to get the information for crontab running history, when it executed last time & what was the recent time it executed & all information.

My crontab suddenly failed yesterday but it was working fine for last 2 mnths.What could be the reason?

Thanks

did u enable the crontab daemon log? (default in linux = enable)
if so, you can read in the that log, /var/log/cron
Linux default, always send mail log to root.
You can check the root mail.
