I have a python script running by cron. For what ever reason, it is not running. I am wondering if there is anywhere that error messages are sent? Script runs fine by itself. If I run a simple script with crontab, that just writes to a file that works also.
My crontab is:
*/15 * * * * python ./home/pi/foo/bar.pyw
By default, the logging for the cron daemon is not enabled in Debian (I assume it is the system you are using). To enable it, please open the file /etc/rsyslog.conf via
$ vi /etc/rsyslog.conf
and uncomment the line
# cron.* /var/log/cron.log
After that, you need to restart rsyslog via
$ /etc/init.d/rsyslog restart
and you will find the cron logs in /var/log/cron.log
Crontab has several parameters (in additional to time execution lines) For example:
MAILTO="you@example.com"
SHELL="/bin/bash"
