The current crontab man pages state otherwise. i.e. Only if the cronjob generates output. See man 5 crontab Anyway, if I understand your stated goal... then set/enable the -v option to bash to force the shell to print the commands as they are executed. # cat ~/backup.sh #!/bin/bash set -v cp /root/install.log /root/install.log.copy # crontab -e 20 * * * * * ~/backup.sh Steve Cowles -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
