Hi,
I have a cronjob that executes a script that has some echo
statements
in it and the commands in it also generate output (it copies files, reloads services, etc...).
Recently, cron stopped sending its output by e-mail. I restarted cron, without success. Any ideas where I shoud start to debug this?
Ugo,
What happens when you run the scripts manually?? That's how I debug scripts that are run from cron...

I hope this isn't too silly, but did you examine /var/log/cron? Might be a clue if you can look around the day it last sent and the next day.
Another possible is /var/log/maillog.

is it just cron not sending mail or is it any mail not being sent?
if it is none being sent try restarting sendmail.
