How to know that .sh file content is really executed in crontab ?
For example : I have created .sh file and pasted a content "ping www.google.com" inside the file.
I can check in /var/logs file that the crontab is executed and details, but, how to know that the file content is really executing or not.
make your script sh log. Something like:
log_file=/var/log/your_script/you_script.log
log_mex="bla bla"
# Other code
ping google.com
echo $log_mex $? > /var/log/your_script/you_script.log
or redirect the whole ping error message
ping google.com 2>$log_file
