Logfiles are a place where a sysadmin notices a host running smoothly (lack of anything in logs) or has problems (error messages about the programs show up in the logs). Looks like you are trying to misuse logfiles as a place to put successful/unsuccessful output that's produced by a program. You'll want to create a separate log for your program, foo.log, and write it to /var/log/ directory.
Others can comment about scanning a host every minute.

If I put the following line into the file /etc/cron.d/clamav * * * * * root /usr/bin/systemd-cat --identifier="clamscan" /usr/bin/clamscan -r /root/ I can see that the clamscan process is started every minute, but the output is not redirected to the journal. If I put the line * * * * * root /usr/bin/systemd-cat --identifier="clamscan" ls /root/ Into the file /etc/cron.d/clamav, it is executed every minute as well and I can see the output of ls in the journal. Do you have any idea what could be causing the issue? Best regards, Jens
