We always run rsync from a shell script, sometimes we pipe the shell script output to mailx or such. I'm sure you can write it to a log file but don't recall the syntax off hand.
We never run the single command as a cron task, ie never 0 23 * * 1-5 rsync but do 0 23 * * 1-5 script1.sh I'm sure a number of the OS provided root cron jobs do so.
