Enable cron in Debian

In some systems (Debian) logging for cron is not enabled by default. In /etc/rsyslog.conf (sudo nano /etc/rsyslog.conf) the line:

# cron.*                          /var/log/cron.log

should be edited uncommented to:

cron.*                          /var/log/cron.log

After that, you need to restart rsyslog via

/etc/init.d/rsyslog restart
