Recently i started using sendmail instead of mutt to send the email .
In one script i have both sendmail and mutt included and they both give different emails.
when i run the above script manually i get the both emails , but when i cron it i get only second email ie email from mutt and not the sendmail.
anything being missed or anything specific needs to be set for sendmail to work from cron.
also how to attach file in sendmail.
both did not work for me.
The point is cron knows none of then and $PATH=/bin:/usr/bin
So what you use that ist not in $PATH needs to be set, the same goes for all variables...
e.g. Where do you get $data_dir set ?
a way to see if that is the issue: when you execute both series of commands /scripts, they work in interactive?
So you have in your environment wht is expected to run the scripts...
You could copy you .profile or whatever you use to profile_mailtest and source it in your shellscript at the beginning:
#the space after dot IS important!
Comment out before all reference to keyboard and terminal since there are none otherwise you will get cron complaining...
First look in unix mail for the owner of the cron. If there is an error message, it should be there.
Also try a one-off cron containing only "printenv" and if that fails, try just "env". Save the output to a file so you can read it. That will tell you what you environment is like in cron.
Hi all,
I have read about sendmail running as 2 separate process.
1 as a MSP, and the other as the real daemon or MTA.
In my current configuration,
the sendmail-client is disabled.
Both submit.cf and sendmail.cf are left as default untouch
I do not specified any mailhost... (3 Replies)

That is to say the PIDs that fail and the related lines with those PID’s only. (Not the full set of logs) Has anyone done this work? Or does an AIX 5.3 tool... (0 Replies)
