I have managed to create a few scripts which are started from crontab.
However I would like a verification that they actually have been executed.
How do I include in my bash script code to append a line like "MyScript was
run at <current date / time>" to the text file 'cronjobs.log' (and that
cronjobs.log is created if it doesn't exist)...
Sorry if this is too much to ask, but I learn a lot from examples
