Question

 Describe crondtab daemon?

Answer 1

The cron daemon reads the /etc/cronlog.conf configuration file provided through the user to log the information. If a configuration file has not been generated, then the cron daemon form a log of its activities in the /var/adm/cron/log file. The cron daemon reads the configuration file while it is activated and while it receives the hangup signal.

If the cron daemon is not capable to create or open the user-specified logfile, then it forms a log of its activities in the /var/adm/cron/log file.
