Correction: to the account running the cron. Of course, if the user is root, then output goes to the root account. (thanks, Brooks). $ man cron | grep -A2 mailed cron then wakes up every minute, examining all stored crontabs, checking each command to see if it should be run in the current minute. When executing commands, any output is mailed to the owner of the crontab (or to the user named in the MAILTO environment variable in the crontab, if such exists). The children copies of cron running these processes have their name coerced to uppercase, as will be seen in the syslog and ps output.
