Write Python Output to File in Cronjob

Question

I have a script (/home/user/script.sh):

#!/bin/bash
/usr/bin/python /home/user/program.py >> /home/user/logs/out.log &

and it is working. The output from the python script is written to the out.log file. Now I am adding the script to cron:

*/1 * * * * /home/user/script.sh

Restarting cron and nothing is written to the out.log file. Cron is running and executing the script every 1 minute.

Why it's not working?

Have you checked cron's log file? – Ryder May 24 '16 at 11:29 — Ryder, May 24 '16 at 11:29

The prefered way to do this is to use pythons logging module and write directly from inside the script instead of redirecting the output.
