CentOS 6  64 bit, zimbra is running with multi server setup. One mailbox
and 2 mta servers.


on mailbox server where no mta is installed, I want to backup mailboxes
with a script. I have set it up to /etc/cron.d/backup file. After the
backup, I want to an email to be sent to admin account.

for the moment, I get an OUTPUT in this way. ( my /etc/cron.d/backup looks
like this )


35 13 * * * root /root/scripts/backup.sh > /tmp/backup.out 2>&1

I always login to the mailbox server and see the OUTPUT which is NOT so
PERFECT.
