Well, try 'man crontab' for more info on writing crontab entries -- you need to spec the schedule as well.

The command I gave was an example of using command-line arguments, but you'll want to check that your configuration already does everything else you want in the reports. Also note that the option "+O-" needs to have the "-" to signify standard out (which cron will send to the email account).

There's more info on command-line args to analog scattered throughout the docs. Also a list of them is under Command-line Arguments in the index:

Hi Jeremy,
Thanks for responding, do I insert "analog +O +a" info a crontab file?
I'm new at this and not all that bright. :)

Cron normally sends any output from a command to the mail account of the user under which the job runs. So just set Analog to write to STDOUT[1] ("-" is often used in Unix to represent standard in and standard out):

   analog +O-

You may have to do some fancy wrapping though, to make a MIME-compatible
HTML email (consider Perl[2] or Python where libraries are available to
do 90% of the work).

It might be much simpler to just send a text formatted[3] email:

   analog +O- +a

Hi,
I would like to write a crontab which would send an email with the
results of the analog in html format.  What would the syntax be?  My
Unix skills are beyond beginner.
