Not that I know of. It's hard-coded in the source.

Why do you want to change it?




It's a question I was asked at $WORK.  Working in a multi-platform environment, 
I have had people inquire as to standardizing misc. log file locations across 
different platforms.


For most items, moving log file locations around is pretty obvious and simple. 
Cron seems to be something else.


Thanks for the reply,

Jerry

[OpenIndiana-discuss] possible to modify the log file location for CRON?

2017-08-02 Thread Jerry Kemp 
Wondering if it is possible to change/configure the directory location for cron 
from the stock /var/cron/log location to somewhere else.


Looking at the man page, All I really see as configurable is that logging can be 
turned off in the /etc/default/cron file.  The PATH environmental variable can 
also be set here.


I also ran strings across the 'cron' binary, in hopes of turning up something. 
If it is/was there, I missed it.


Is it possible to configure the cron log file location using the 'as supplied' 
cron daemon that ships with OpenIndiana?


Thanks,

Jerry
