Casual Code

I have been having some problems debugging some of my cron scripts and when I went looking for the cron log file it didn’t exists. By default, Ubuntu disables the cron log.

The following steps will enable the cron log to allow for better debugging details.

1. Edit /etc/syslog.conf and uncomment the line starting with cron.*
2. Run /etc/init.d/sysklogd restart
3. Run /etc/init.d/cron restart
