echo o/p from crontab

If my crontab had the entry

开发者_StackOverflow中文版# m h  dom mon dow   command
12 16 5 6 7 echo "echo from cron"

where would the output of echo go ?

I don't see it on my shell's stout.

It gets sent to the local mailbox of the user the script runs under.

---

cron emails the output of the command to you.

You can explicitly redirect the output to a file, if you don't want to rely on mail

If you want me to give you the fish:

$MAILTO is who gets mailed the output of each command. But, i usually redirect the out and err to files.

If you want me to teach you fishing: Go to the cron man page and search for output
