wp cron event run needs to output the time and date when a cron job is run

• Yes, I reviewed the contribution guidelines.

If a cron job is run when I execute "wp cron event run", then the output is something like this for the cron job "cronjob_name":

Executed the cron event 'cronjob_name' in 0.002s.

There is a very obvious missing piece of information here - the time and date the cron job ran! When you have a regular running cron job that fails once, but succeeds at all other times, knowing the time/date it failed is very useful forensic evidence.

Please add the time and date to that "Executed..." cron job message.

It's not like you're scheduling a cron job, so the date / time is the one from when you execute wp cron event run, no?

$ date && wp cron event run
