Hi,
Complete newbie here :-|
I have managed to create a few scripts which are started from crontab.
However I would like a verification that they actually have been executed.
How do I include in my bash script code to append a line like "MyScript was
run at <current date / time>" to the text file 'cronjobs.log' (and that
cronjobs.log is created if it doesn't exist)...
I have tried this:
echo "MyScript started $(date) " >> /tmp/cronjobs.log
.. but get an 'Illegal variable name' error
Sounds like you want to be using logger. See its man page, logger(1)
and its related pages.
