Unix mail to personal mail, Strange behavour
Hi.
I am running a script on solaris 10 and mailing it to my personal email.
the script is ran as user xxx, And i have edited the crontab for user xxx to run the script and mail it to my email account.
/network_check.sh | /usr/bin/mailx -s "Network Test"
k454@hotmail.com
the sript runs fine outside of crontab and email the expected output.
i.e.
TUcron reported errors for server:
tjob_20090528-0300.log
the script touchs a few tmp log files and then cleans up.
However when i run the script with crontab it executes the script and
TUcron reported errors for server:
::::::::::::::
/var/tmp/logTU.txt
::::::::::::::
tjob_20090528-0300.log
the script finishes, however it doesnt remove any of the log files that were generated in the cleanup stage of the script. and it outputs
:::::::::::::
::::::::::::: at the point when the log files are being generated by the script in crontab dont know what it is referring to, Can anyone help

set_color
set_color(1) fish set_color(1)
NAME
set_color - set_color - set the terminal color
set_color - set the terminal color
Synopsis
set_color [-v --version] [-h --help] [-b --background COLOR] [COLOR]
Description
Change the foreground and/or background color of the terminal. COLOR is one of black, red, green, brown, yellow, blue, magenta, purple,
cyan, white and normal.
o -b, --background Set the background color
o -c, --print-colors Prints a list of all valid color names
o -h, --help Display help message and exit
o -o, --bold Set bold or extra bright mode
o -u, --underline Set underlined mode
o -v, --version Display version and exit
Calling set_color normal will set the terminal color to whatever is the default color of the terminal.
Some terminals use the --bold escape sequence to switch to a brighter color set. On such terminals, set_color white will result in a grey
font color, while set_color --bold white will result in a white font color.
Not all terminal emulators support all these features. This is not a bug in set_color but a missing feature in the terminal emulator.
set_color uses the terminfo database to look up how to change terminal colors on whatever terminal is in use. Some systems have old and
incomplete terminfo databases, and may lack color information for terminals that support it. Download and install the latest version of
ncurses and recompile fish against it in order to fix this issue.
