This article will explain in detail how to open and view the cron log in Ubuntu. The editor thinks it is very practical, so I share it for you as a reference. I hope you can get something after reading this article.

Implementation steps of opening and viewing Ubuntu cron logs

Ubuntu does not enable cron logging by default

1. Modify rsyslog

Vim / etc/rsyslog.d/50-default.conf cron.* / var/log/cron.log

# remove the comments in front of cron

two。 Restart rsyslog

Service rsyslog restart

3. View crontab Log

Tail / var/log/cron.log

The default cron sends an email to send the running results of the task, such as error messages, to the mailbox of the system user, instead of the specific script running output information in log, so we can specify the output log path of each task:

0 2 * db_backup task; > > / var/log/db_backup.log 2 > & 1

In this way, we can go to the corresponding log file to see the script output.
