New to Lenny: Rsyslog setup question

lslade · 01-07-2010, 02:57 PM

Hi, I think this is likely a Debian specific question so I am posting it here rather than in an rsyslog forum.

Does anyone know why the standard cron.log file is commented out in the default rsyslog.conf file? How are cron jobs logged in Lenny?

From /etc/rsyslog.conf:
#cron.* /var/log/cron.log

Thanks.

Well, they are logged to syslog - which I could obviously find out by reading the logs. However, I always worry with logs what is the "best" way to set them up.
