Hi, I have been running a bash script which monitors a web site every ten minutes and sends me an email if it detects problems. It is called with an entry in crontab like so:
3,13,23,33,43,53 * * * $HOME/bin/itrust_monitor.sh and in the .forward file I put my desktop email address like so: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Under Redhat 7.2 it worked like a charm. I then installed Redhat 8.0 and promptly broke it. The output now goes to /var/spool/mail/david How do I get the email sent to the correct email address? In the man pages it says " cron mails to the owner of crontab - or the user named in the MAILTO environment variable in the crontab, if such exists. " I have tried changing the crontab entry to : 3,13,23,33,43,53 * * * [EMAIL PROTECTED] $HOME/bin/itrust_monitor.sh to no avail. Can anyone help?
