Cron should always set From, To, and Subject: fprintf(mail, "From: %s (Cron Daemon)\n", usernm); fprintf(mail, "To: %s\n", mailto); fprintf(mail, "Subject: Cron <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> %s\n", usernm, first_word(hostname, "."), e->cmd); > Any ideas on how to get this aaccli program to run in a cron job? > > Adaptec really took a step backwards when they went to this aaccli > from the earlier raidutils used with asr devices.

Putting something like this in cron: /usr/local/bin/aaccli open /readonly aac0 : enclosure show status : disk show smart : container list /full : diagnostic show text gives me a whole lot of info back in the email. -- Dan Nelson [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
