Hi Geeks,

I have scheduled a shell in crontab which is running a java program. For having track of that program i have place System.out.println() in my java program. When i ran that shell manually i can able to get the system out message in console, where to find those System.out.println() message of that shell which i have scheduled in the crontab?

Thanks in advance,
Eswar.

You must redirect it or output direct to a file.
You can try the mail folder of the cron owner or root as well; try the 'mailx' cmd.
