Cron/Crontab Log Samples

Crontab edited by root:

Sep 11 09:46:33 sys1 crontab[20601]: (root) BEGIN EDIT (root)
Sep 11 09:46:39 sys1 crontab[20601]: (root) REPLACE (root)
Sep 11 09:46:39 sys1 crontab[20601]: (root) END EDIT (root)

This is root editing another user’s crontab:

Sep 11 09:50:42 sys1 crontab[20230]: (root) BEGIN EDIT (user1)
Sep 11 09:51:06 sys1 crontab[20230]: (root) REPLACE (user1)
Sep 11 09:51:06 sys1 crontab[20230]: (root) END EDIT (user1)

This is a user editing their own crontab:

Sep 11 09:51:39 sys1 crontab[20761]: (user1) BEGIN EDIT (user1)
Sep 11 09:51:46 sys1 crontab[20761]: (user1) REPLACE (user1)
Sep 11 09:51:46 sys1 crontab[20761]: (user1) END EDIT (user1)
