hi,

can achieved editing /etc/rsyslog.d/50-default.conf

code:

$ sudo nano /etc/rsyslog.d/50-default.conf

uncommenting '#' before line says cron in enable logging cron.

code:

[..snip..]  #cron.*                         /var/log/cron.log  [..snip..]

remove '#' symbol line. can choose logging level specifying log level in line.
example

code:

cron.*                                                      /var/log/cron.log

log messages cron.log file, whereas

code:

cron.crit         /var/log/cron.log

log messages tagged crit, emerg , alert well.. can restart logging daemon giving following command in terminal

code:

$ sudo /etc/init.d/rsyslog reload

or

code:

$ sudo kill 1 `cat /var/run/rsyslogd.pid`

hope helps
