 ## Cronjobs
 
-There is a section in documentation about cron jobs you should configure. This docker image currently isn't supporting these, so configure it separately with lines like:
+This Docker image come with a recommended in documentation set of cronjobs. To customize it copy `etc/crontabs/news` file, make neccessary changes and mount it to container in `/etc/crontabs/news`.

+## Logs
+
+Logs are split in two destinations:
+
+* `/inn2/log` - default INN logs destination.
+* `/var/log` - syslog logs.
+
+As INN might log in both of them you should mount a directory for each.
+
+For syslog logs it is a known bug that logs isn't written in `/var/log/innd` or `/var/log/nnrpd`, take a look at `/var/log/syslogd/everything/current` for logs with `news` topic. This might be fixed somewhere soon.
