Hi group Replying to this email again. I do understand below but just wondering if there is any way to turn off Cron logging totally or send to a separate log file?

So no help there. Using the filter for the Status Tab, is a reasonable idea. Personally, when executing shell commands on a regular interval of seconds/minutes, I prefer to use a bash shell script and the sleep builtin. (Using the sleep builtin keeps from spawning a new process whenever 'sleep' is called). The simplest example of this is the 'msmtpqueue' bash script [1] Basic code setup and loop: -- #!/bin/bash LOCKFILE="/var/lock/foobar.lock" # Robust 'bash' method of creating/testing for a lockfile if ! ( set -o noclobber; echo "$$" > "$LOCKFILE" ) 2>/dev/null; then echo "foobar: already running, lockfile \"$LOCKFILE\" exists, process id: $(cat "$LOCKFILE")." return 9 fi # Load 'sleep' builtin if it exists if [ -f /usr/lib/bash/sleep ]; then enable -f /usr/lib/bash/sleep sleep fi #seconds to wait wait=300 trap 'rm -f "$LOCKFILE"; exit $?' INT TERM EXIT while true; do # do stuff sleep $wait done rm -f "$LOCKFILE" trap - INT TERM EXIT -- Look at the actual code [1] for finer details. Another fairly simple example, asterisk-sip-monitor [2] which adds a PID file that can be removed to exit the script.
