Cron - not creating log file
I am trying to enable logging for cron. I edited my crontab file (as root) and added the CRONLOG=YES (in all caps) switch.
My question is where the hell is the log file? All the documentation I can find indicates that it should be in /var/cron.... I dont have that directory or a file called cron in var. I ran a systemwide search for cron.log, and another for any file containing text that I am certain would appear in the log file. any help would be greatly appreciated. |
I am running slackware and fedora, so it may be in different spot. But in both of my systems it is located in /var/log/ It is called cron. Last weeks is cron.1 , 2 weeks ago is cron.2, etc.

no such log files on my box...
comon guys.... this one should be pretty straight forward any other suggestions? |
find / | grep -i cron
that should find any file/directory with the word cron in it. I found a cron.conf on my system where I could set the cron logfile I think you have to run that command as root to traverse through everything. |
