“check cron logs” Code Answer’s
The use of cron jobs is very common in a Linux environment. In a Linux environment, the cron job works as any task scheduler that automates all same tasks. The system administrator gives instructions to the cron jobs to be carried out at a specific date and time. Administrators verify that either cron jobs were performed at a specific time and date with the help of history or cron jobs logs.
cron logs
On a default installation the cron jobs get logged to
/var/log/syslog
You can see just cron jobs in that logfile by running
grep CRON /var/log/syslogWhile working, a system administrator thinks about whether his given tasks are working are not. Those tasks that need to run automatically for maintenance, backups, history, and other functional needs are known as cron jobs. In order to know, that your cron jobs are working you have to distinguish between the scheduling of crontabs (given tasks) and cron jobs (actual tasks).
