If you are not sure whether a cron job is running correctly, you do not need a Terminal: cPanel can email you the output of each run.

1. In cPanel, open **Cron Jobs**.

![Cron Jobs button in cPanel](/api/help/media/0b3d9565-206b-43e5-8c67-3b5538d4f2f5)

2. Under **Email**, enter an address of yours and keep sending enabled when the command produces output. If the command ends with `>/dev/null 2>&1`, **remove that part**: it silences all output and no email will arrive.

3. Run the job with **Run Now** (if your cPanel shows it) or wait for the next scheduled time. Check the mailbox: the email body is the command output.

## What if I get no output?

- If the command **returns no output and no error**, talk to the developer of that application so they enable a log or on-screen debugging.
- If the result is **an error or a message you do not understand**, open a ticket and we will help you interpret it.
- If you think **the cron job is not running at all**, edit it and save it again: this forces it to be re-registered.
