I have a bash script to back up my satellite server database scheduled to run on Friday nights. It successfully does that and has a timestamp echoed at the end that shows completion on Friday night. Sendmail doesn't even attempt to send the output until Sunday morning when the logwatch report is sent (according to maillog). In between, the Saturday logwatch report is generated and sent. It's a simple script that has a MAILTO=root and when that didn't send it as expected, I appended the crontab entry to mail it with the same results. This worked fine under RHEL4. Any idea on why there is a delay?
