I think you don't need the cron script.  If you make the (reasonable?)
assumption that files in /var/log are updated regularly then:

# find /var/log -type f -print0 | xargs -0 stat -c '%Y %n' /var/log | sort -nr | head -1

(You can omit the %n if you don't care about the actual file that is
the newest).

Generally, I think your plan is a good one!  Would be good for my
CubieTruck too.  How about trying to get it into systemd upstream?
