Hi, I have raw unix logs and I have to create an use case to find the schedules task created by the users. I f I search for the keyword "cron" then it's listing out all the schedules jobs including it's run time etc. I need to get the events which states the 1st time creation of task. What is the logic for this?

Thanks,
But is there any particular field which should look into?
If I do as you said, that will not give me clear output
