title: How to add timstamps to crond's native logs?
body: <p>I know this has been asked countless times but I am looking for a solution that uses crond's native log function. I do not want to pipe the output of each cron and prepend the timestamp.</p>
  
  <p>I am launching crond like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>crond -L /var/log/cron.log -f
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>the logs are like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>crond: crond (busybox 1.30.1) started, log level 8
  crond: USER root pid  16 cmd echo "hello"
  crond: USER root pid  18 cmd echo "hello"
  crond: USER root pid  19 cmd echo "hello"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I'd like to add the timestamp before the line. I do not want to add some stdout command to each individual cron and prepend the date. </p>
  
  <p>Maybe I could watch the file and append to each new line or something? How do I get access to crond's stream and modify it?</p>
