Folks: I have a Raspberry Pi (Raspberry Pi OS = Debian version 11.5) which runs a backup daily via a file called /etc/cron.daily/backup. This file generates copious output, which should get emailed to root. The backup script ran this morning at 06:25, as predicted. I know this because it created a timestamp file at the end of its backup, and that file indicates it ran on schedule. However, there is no email containing its output. I checked the contents of /var/mail, and there's no output. FWIW, when run manually, it generates the aforementioned output.
I haven't tampered with anacron other than to add the script to the directory above. Can anyone give me a clue why the output of the script would fail to generate an email for me? Paul -- Paul M.
