You can change the log file to be different per cron task

  • >> /tmp/easyping.webHost.log

  • or >> /tmp/easyping.groupA.log

  • Without Groups

    • */5 * * * * scott /opt/EasyPing/easyping.cron.sh >> /tmp/easyping.log

  • With Groups

    • */10 * * * * scott /opt/EasyPing/easyping.cron.sh groupA >> /tmp/easyping.log
    • 0 1 * * * scott /opt/EasyPing/easyping.cron.sh webHosts >> /tmp/easyping.log

This will output data that is seen from running it manual to the /tmp/easyping.log file. This could be helpful for troubleshooting later on or to check the return times of success pings.
