check out the crontab file if you have these,
SHELL=/bin/bash PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin MAILTO=root ===========================> that's what you are looking for HOME=/
# run-parts 01 * * * * root run-parts /etc/cron.hourly 02 4 * * * root run-parts /etc/cron.daily 22 4 * * 0 root run-parts /etc/cron.weekly 42 4 1 * * root run-parts /etc/cron.monthly

Hi all
I have a '/etc/cron.daily/push-to-backup' script which the content is:
#!/bin/bash /usr/bin/rsync [... long options line ...] echo "finished pushing to the backup"Launched manually, it's OK.
Waiting for cron to execute it, In the "/var/log/cron", I see the starting time and the finish time, and I see it take about 10 minutes to make the job. That's very fine, it's the expected executioon time
The problem is: I get no EMail. In "/etc/cron.daily/", I also have "logwatch", whose EMail comes to me without problem. "/etc/aliases" is already setup to forward root and cron emails to my email adress. Testing the MTA (Exim) on command-line: success (anyway, logwatch also success on sending email)
On another centos5 machine, the same script, the mail is sent.
On the Centos 6: $ rpm -aq | grep cron crontabs-1.10-33.el6.noarch cronie-1.4.4-7.el6.x86_64 cronie-anacron-1.4.4-7.el6.x86_64
On the Centos 5: $ rpm -aq | grep cron crontabs-1.10-8 vixie-cron-4.1-81.el5 anacron-2.3-45.el5.centos
How to setup the Centos6 system so that the cron sends me an email the script output??
