question about cron

[Rilindo Foster]

Usually it is /var/log/cron.log (assuming that the default syslog  
config has not been changed).

If you don't see the command execute in the log file (assumin that  
you do have cron.log), try restarting cron. My understanding is that  
cron should be able to re-read the crontab file on the fly, but (at  
least on other Unix OSes), but just in case, you may need to do that.
