I’ve upgraded from Raspbmc to OSMC and I’m trying to set up some of the other bits & bobs that the pi used to do for me. I’m trying to set up cron to do a nightly copy of files, however I can’t get the cronjob to run. In trying to diagnose what the problem is, I went to the /var/logs directory to see if I could find something, but when I try to run less, cat, tail etc to look at the log files I get this error:
may be a binary file. See it anyway?
Even if I look at the files they appear to be binary. Any idea what’s going on here, and also what file should I be looking in for output from cron? I assumed syslog but that file is not present.
