Thanks much to Peyton Glands and Tim Cutts, for their
quick suggestions ( i was forcing this to work one
way!, which wasn't!!!!)
For MX problem, local grp working on issue.
For script/cron issue, this oneliner worked (was
looking for a one liner)
You could just do:
30 * * * * /usr/local/bin/dosomething 2>&1 | mailx -s
"dosomething
cron" user1 user2
but that has the disadvantage that both users get the
message even if
no
output was produced. In which case it's probably
better to wrap
dosomething in a shell script:
#!/bin/sh
/usr/local/bin/dosomething 2>&1 > /tmp/dosomething.$$
if [ -s /tmp/dosomething.$$ ]; then
mailx -s "dosomething output" user1 user2 <
/tmp/dosomething.$$
fi
rm /tmp/dosomething.$$
And run that script as your cron job.
