find the output log from costomized crontab task
0
I config a regular task
me@alpha:~$ crontab -l | grep '^*'
*/5 * * * * (cd ~/Documents/OrgMode; git add .; git commit -m "defensively save")
It works but I cannot find the log from mail.log
me@alpha:~$ grep 'git' /var/log/mail.log
me@alpha:~$ grep 'git' /var/log/mail.log
Where could I find the log?

sorry? it works? Doubt it. cron does NOT work with shell expansion so the "~" will not change to /home/$USER/
