First we wanr to connect to your server VIA SSH. If you dont know how to do this Check out "this link"
Once connected we want to run the following command based on your Cron Job "script name" - For this example I am going to use the "wp-cron.php" file which is included withWordPress - afterall look at the site name..
grep "wp-cron.php" /var/log/cron
Here’s is a sample output of what shall return :
MONTH DATE TIME:OF:DAY SERVERNAME CROND[52168]: (cPanel-User) CMD (wget -q -O - https://your-site-url-here.ext/wp-cron.php)
MONTH DATE TIME:OF:DAY SERVERNAME CROND[52178]: (cPanel-User2) CMD (wget -q -O - https://another-site-url-here.ext/wp-cron.php)
MONTH DATE TIME:OF:DAY SERVERNAME CROND[52173]: (cPanel-User3) CMD (wget -q -O - https://your-site-url2-here.ext/wp-cron.php)
MONTH DATE TIME:OF:DAY SERVERNAME CROND[52175]: (cPanel-User4) CMD (wget -q -O - https://their-site-url-here.ext/wp-cron.php)
MONTH DATE TIME:OF:DAY SERVERNAME CROND[52184]: (cPanel-User5) CMD (wget -q -O - https://another-site-here.ext/wp-cron.php)
MONTH DATE TIME:OF:DAY SERVERNAME CROND[52170]: (cPanel-User6) CMD (wget -q -O - https://that-site.ext/wp-cron.php)
Looking at the results above we can see IF the Cron Started - (if its in the list it did start), then we can see what Time the Crons Started, The Server Name, Cron ID, For which account the cron ran for, The Cron Job itself, and finally the Cron Location itself.
Hopefully you found this of use and it helps you to track IF your Crons Jobs ran OR perhaps helps to troubleshoot an issue with Cron Jobs or Tasks running too frequently.
