Accordingly, you must add MAILTO=emailid either in /etc/crontab or the user's crontab. Hi, MAILTO=emailid guided me to find what was the problem with sendmail when cronned. The Problem was sendmail: command not found . So, sendmail when cronned requires its *complete path*. Eg. /usr/sbin/sendmail as in my case. Thankyou for your valuable suggestions. Now, sendmail is sending mails when it is cronned. -- Yours, S.Selvam ___ To unsubscribe, email ilugc-requ...@ae.iitm.ac.in with unsubscribe password address in the subject or body of the message. http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
[Ilugc] Shell-script when cron'ed does not send mail (using sendmail)
Hi, We wrote a shell script which will do some posting work and need to send the details of the work(posting). It works fine when it is not cronned ,but it does not send mail when cronned. I googled on this and found that we need some authentication for sendmail to work when it is cronned. I tried the following cron-script but it failed: echo password | sudo -u username -S script-to-send-mail.sh please guide me on this problem -- Yours, S.Selvam ___ To unsubscribe, email ilugc-requ...@ae.iitm.ac.in with unsubscribe password address in the subject or body of the message. http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
