Test CRON

From time to time, we might want to test Magento's CRON.

An easy way to test if it does run well is by appending the following to your cron.php file:
try{
   $myFile ="cronlog.txt";
   $fh = fopen($myFile,'w');
   $stringData = date('l jS \of F Y h:i:s A');
   fwrite($fh, $stringData);
   fclose($fh);}catch(Exception $e){Mage::printException($e);}

This snippet will create a cronlog.txt file (if the file doesn't exist) and append the date/time of your cron runs.
