create log file when it does not exist

[spyrospph]

Hi,

I use the below config:

'logFileName' => Yii::getAlias('@logs').'/output.log',
'updateLogFile' => true

When the logfile does not exist it does not get created so logs are being lost.

This is not the case with the error output used below, where if the log file does not exist it DOES get created?

'cron-stderr' => Yii::getAlias('@logs').'/error.log'

Any chance we can change the output so that the file is created?

May we not add something like the snippet below:

            if (!file_exists($stdout)){
                touch($stdout);
            }

so that we create file instead of just having the is_writable check?

please view in ths PR: #7

Currently when the log file doesn't exist we don't create it. Insted of this we attempt to save results into "/dev/null" Can we create log file instead?

@alexweb we have done this here https://github.com/PeoplePerHour/yii2-cronjobs

it is based on denisogr work but with a few additions
