Thanks Matt!! What about errors - don't they get logged automatically?

Any idea why the error was not written to /var/log/cron ?

Probably because it went into the mail?

I'm not following. What are you saying?
When a cron job runs, the default behavior of the cron daemon is to
take that cron job's stdout and stderr and mail those things to the
user who ran the job. This is why many regular cron jobs have ">
/dev/null" in their crontab after they've been debugged. If you want
the output of cron jobs to be written to syslog, on CentOS 6, you'd
modify /etc/sysconfig/crond and add -s to the CRONDARGS variable and
restart crond.
