- Subject: cron jobs and email
I've a problem with cron, it does not send email
when the job is done.
I read " /usr/share/doc/Cygwin/cron-4.1-6.README"
and followed all the instruction but nothing email
( the jobs in crontab are done ok ).
My /var/log/cron.log is empty, there is no
$HOME/cron.log, the exim log doesn't specify anything
about cron emails, my /etc/aliases is
postmaster: Proprietario
nobody: Proprietario
root: Proprietario
I added to my crontab MAILTO ( even if I read it is not
necessary ) :
# DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE - edit the master and reinstall.
# (/tmp/crontab.fh8FmSF6p5 installed on Sun Jul 20 14:15:14 2008)
# (Cron version V5.0 -- $Id: crontab.c,v 1.12 2004/01/23 18:56:42 vixie Exp $)
MAILTO=Proprietario
59 18 * * 6 /bin/backup.sh
17 14 20 7 * /bin/prova.sh
I searched with google, but I did not find anything about this.
