Stop Cron from Flooding Logs: OwnCloud, Cronie

hunterthomson · 2014-01-22 11:03:29

So, I have cron job to update OwnCloud every 2 minutes and boy o' boy dose that just flood the crap out of my log.

The cron job itself produces no output. However, cronie writes 3 lines every time {Starting, Running, Stopped}. The man pages have no info on how to selectively stop cronie from wiring these logs or set a log level.

Any ideas?

Are you running a syslog daemon or just plain systemd?

By the way, dcron supports setting a loglevel (not individually though). Maybe you want to give it a try.

Just pure Journald.
Right on, sounds like what I need.

Thanks.
