Nah, if I have to jump through that many hoops, I think I'll revert to cron+MAILTO.
But this is not the modern way ;)
Hehe - I don't mind the modern way, as long as it does what the old-fashioned way does :-) Preferably easier, faster and better too!.
BTW note that crond's email support is also not perfect. At least the one openSUSE is installing per default does some things wrong which other crond's do better:
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.
I was not aware. I thought cronie used sendmail, it surely can't rely on localhost:25 being open? -- Per Jessen, Zürich (10.5°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - your free DNS host, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
