After moving from Mandriva 2011 to Mageia 3 I have a minor annoyance with CRON output. The script below should provide 3 outputs (numbered in the comments), but only the 2nd and 3rd arrive in my mail.
In fact, any output from the cron job itself disappears. Any suggestions where to look? Here's my test script ================= #!/bin/sh ## aaaa-test - is a CRON working? ## output #1 - test the echo command echo "this is a test of the echo command in a CRON job" ## output #2 - mail to solomon echo "aaaa-test mail to solomon" | mail -s "aaaa-test solomon" solomon ## output #3 - mail to root echo "aaaa-test mail to root" | mail -s "aaaa-test root" root And here are the first few lines of /etc/crontab ============================== SHELL=/bin/bash PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin ## tried MAILTO=solmon or MAILTO=root but don't get mail from jobs MAILTO=solomon ##MAILTO=root HOME=/ # run-parts 01 * * * * root nice -n 19 run-parts /etc/cron.hourly -- Shlomo Solomon http://the-solomons.net Sent by Claws Mail 3.9.0 - KDE 4.10.2 - LINUX Mageia 3 _______________________________________________ Linux-il mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il
