openSUSE's cronie connects to the sendmail socket already when the jobs starts and writes your job output directly to that socket. This means you may not get that mail if the mail server restarts while the job is running. Also many jobs at the same time will cause "too many open files" errors. Last but not least the email does not contain any information when the job was finished, only start time.
date-stamp in the email headers will indicate a relatively close approximation of the "job finished time".
Not for (default) local delivery via /var/mail/$user. The first local mailserver writes the date when the socket was opened to the header. Non-local delivery would add more headers with dates later but you can't be sure that their clock goes right (unless you don't own them too). See for example my mail in the other thread "[opensuse] test systemd" However it's cronie's fault. One should click the "send button" when the email is finished. cu, Rudi -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
