Usually it is /var/log/cron.log (assuming that the default syslog
config has not been changed).
If you don't see the command execute in the log file (assumin that
you do have cron.log), try restarting cron. My understanding is that
cron should be able to re-read the crontab file on the fly, but (at
least on other Unix OSes), but just in case, you may need to do that.

I have one server on which it does not seem that the cron daemon is
working. I use cron to do system backups and to rotate those
backups (as well as quite a few other things). None of them seem to
be happening.
My question is, what do I look for in the logs to determine whether
or not the cron daemon is running, and if not, why not?
Thanks,
