mailto command

[Eddiefdz]

Hello,

I have a cron job that looks somthing like this:

mailtoerson@domain.com
00 22 * * * /bak/cronjob

As you can tell, I want the output of the cronjob file to be emailed to me on a daily basis as it runs. My problem is the following: I do get an email but it seems to only be showing me like the last page worth of the contents. Ther should be a huge listing with a bunch of pages, but for some reason it only shows me the ending part. Is there any switch which will make sure it sends me everthing?

Thanks for you help,
Eddie

Hmm ... not realy sure what you'r doing but I'd be inclined to do something like

0 22 * * * /bak/cronjob 1>&2 > /tmp/mylog.txt
30 22 * * * `uuencode mylog.txt mylog.txt | mailx -s 'Daily Report' you@yourcomain.com`

well something along those lines.

Good Luck
Laurie

I've never seen this, but stdout may be overflowing a buffer. Why not have it log to a file?
