Cron Job notification email
Hi,
I'm fairly new to Aix and am looking for some help on the following.
I have setup a cron job under root and want it to send the email once it's run to an external email address. I can get it to send the output in an email to me by using mail on the end of the crontab entry. But I would like to get the email thats sent to root once the cronjob has run as displayed below sent to my external address.
/var/spool/mail/root
