The thing is that mail works fine. However, I don't want any mail at all. Instead, I want the errors to be written to a log file like with other systems. No one uses these machines and we have monitoring software that reads the logs and sends messages accordingly. However, I cannot get cron to report anything other than the job was started.
Ah. I had that problem time ago (SuSE 7.3) but I don't remember how we solved it. I have browsed some files, but I couldn't find it. I think it was a setting somewhere. There are alternatives. Yo can email somewhere else - even external an address - or you can mail it to a local user running procmail, for example, and piping it to a program to parse and take appropriate action: even sending it back to syslog. -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
