Another mailx question
I have a script that runs every night that is supposed to send a log file to a list of email addresses. When I run this command from the command prompt, it works successfully:
mailx -s "Filename to send" "`cat email.address`" < $outfile
The email.address file contains the list of email addresses.
When this script runs each night, however, I do not receive the email or any error message. Is there a way to check to see what is happening in the cron submitted script each night? I checked "mail" but is says I have no mail.
Appreciate any help.
