If these were standard cronjobs sending output to stdout then this would
work (though I would use e.g. "mail -s 'my subject'" not sendmail -
latter only really useful when you want to generate the headers
yourself). However, IIRC, periodic jobs are handled differently.
Extract from man periodic.conf:
dir_output
(path or list) What to do with the output of the scripts executed
from the directory dir. If this variable is set to an absolute
path name, output is logged to that file, otherwise it is taken
as one or more space separated email addresses and mailed to
those users. If this variable is not set or is empty, output is
sent to standard output.
e.g.
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
same for weekly, monthly.
Or unset all of them and use the crontab email method you used above.
