Every process in Unix and Linux has 1 standard input from the terminal
(stdin), 1 standard output to the terminal (stdout) and 1 standard error
output (stderr).
What this means is the non-error output from a command like rsync prints
on the terminal, and you can redirect it using the right angle bracket
(eg. >). The double right angle bracket means append.
So:
rsync -auvzr --delete /home/tom/Documents/ /mnt/root2/ > mylog
Will direct the output of rsync to the file, mylog, in the current
working directory.
As I had mentioned earlier, the standard output of a cron job is emailed
to the email address of the owner of the process, which would be tom if
that is the user name you created your cron spec.
So, if you do nothing, the output of your rsync command will be emailed
to your user id. if you want that to go to another email address, set
the mailto variable (using kcron). Select variables, edit/new,
variable:mailto
value:tom@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
That should cause all your cron output for your account to be redirected
to tom@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
As I mentioned before, kcron is just a GIU way to specify your crontab
file. From the command line, run the "crontab -l" command and you will
see how kcron set up your crontab.
