I can't locate cron.log

[satimis]

Hi folks,


Ubuntu LAMP 6.06 amd64


I can't find cron.log


$ locate cron.log
No printout


$ ps aux | grep cron

root      8335  0.0  0.0  11424   884 ?        Ss   19:02   0:00 /usr/sbin/cron
satimis   8431  0.0  0.0   3944   900 pts/1    R+   19:10   0:00 grep cron

Please advise. TIA

Have you built the filename database?

sudo updatedb

Also, I suppose it's possible that you're not seeing any output because, as a regular user, you don't have access to the directories that contain cron.log. Try:

sudo locate cron.log

or

sudo find / -name cron.log -print

Hi Thrillhouse,


Thanks for your advice. I tried them previously without result. I was told that it has been replaced with /var/log/syslog
