Where does the system cron job output go by default?
I see the command printed by journalctl, but no output.

Link to different crontab manpage
The linked `crontab` man page doesn't match the `crontab` provided with NixOS; in particular, the nicknames (`@reboot`, `@daily`) are not supported by NixOS's `crontab`
These special time specification "nicknames" are supported, which replace the 5 initial time and date fields, and are prefixed by the '@' character: @reboot : Run once after reboot. @yearly : Run once a year, ie. "0 0 1 1 *". @annually : Run once a year, ie. "0 0 1 1 *". @monthly : Run once a month, ie. "0 0 1 * *". @weekly : Run once a week, ie. "0 0 * * 0". @daily : Run once a day, ie. "0 0 * * *". @hourly : Run once an hour, ie. "0 * * * *".
This link should probably be changed.
