Crontab assistance
I have a script that runs a SQL query and then emails me the results. It runs correctly alone. I am trying to set up a cron that will run the script every day at say 5:00. When the script runs alone, the results are emailed exactly like I want the, but when I set up a cronjob, I get a blank email. with the subject indicated in the script.
The script is owned by the correct user and the cron is set in the users crontab. I accessed it my using crontab -e. Is there any reason the cron would cause the script to not email me the same results as just running the script alone??
Thanks!

SCRIPT-EMAIL(8) System Administration Commands SCRIPT-EMAIL(8)
NAME
script-email - Amanda script to send email notifications
DESCRIPTION
script-email is an Amanda script implementing the Script API. It should not be run by users directly. It sends a notification email to the
addresses specified in the MAILTO property.
PROPERTIES
This section lists the properties that control script-email's functionality. See amanda-scripts(7) for information on the Script API,
script configuration.
MAILTO
List of email addresses that will receive an email on command execution. It is a multi-valued property:
property "MAILTO" "amanda@domain.com" "sysadmin@domain.com" "amandauser@domain.com"
EXAMPLE
In this example, script-email is scheduled to be run before the DLE, on the server. The unqualified email address amanda will be passed to
the email system unchanged. The script is then attached to a dumptype, which can then be specified for any DLEs which require
notification.
define script-tool pre-email {
comment "email me before this DLE is backed up"
plugin "script-email"
execute-on pre-dle-backup
execute-where server
property "mailto" "amanda"
}
define dumptype user-tar-email {
user-tar
script "pre-email"
}
