This is a little off topic, but I am not sure where it belongs best, and because I am sure (almost) everyone here is using vixie-cron and xmail, I thought I'd ask. My problem is cron doesn't send the output of the commands it runs. I am not sure whether I am not doing something right or what, but I just don't receive the output as I should. I only have one crontab, namely root's and it does a few simple things at different points of time. To test, i made an entry that runs each minute and simply echoes "hi"
# crontab -e ----------------------------------------- * * * * * echo "hi" I watched /var/log/crond/current and saw the cronjob run: # tail -f /var/log/crond/current .... Feb 6 13:29:01 [/usr/sbin/cron] (root) CMD (echo "hi") Shouldn't this email root a message that says "hi"? Did I miss a configuration setting somewhere? Is cron confusing the sendmail script? I know that sendmail works because PHP can access it. If anyone has any suggestions, let me know -- Dustin C.
