In Linux, the execution log of scheduled tasks can be viewed in two ways:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Filter the\/var\/log\/syslog file using the grep command, which records various log information of the system, including the execution logs of scheduled tasks. You can use the following command to view the execution logs of scheduled tasks:<\/li>\n
  2. Search for “CRON” in the syslog file located at \/var\/log\/syslog.<\/li>\n
  3. This command will display all log information containing the keyword “CRON”, including logs of scheduled task executions.<\/li>\n
  4. Check the scheduled task execution logs for users. The Linux system maintains a cron log file for each user, recording the execution logs of their scheduled tasks. The log file is located at \/var\/log\/cron.log (some systems may use \/var\/log\/cron or \/var\/log\/cron\/cron.log). You can use the following command to view the scheduled task execution logs for users:<\/li>\n
  5. View the contents of the cron.log file by typing “cat \/var\/log\/cron.log”.<\/li>\n
  6. If the file does not exist or is empty, it may be because the user has not set up a scheduled task or has not run a scheduled task.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Both of these methods can help you view the execution logs of scheduled tasks in a Linux system.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
