Crontab not working

Hi All,

I have a script with deatils as :

Code:
[muser@server scripts]$ ls -ld catch_logs.sh 
-rwx--x--x 1 muser muser 752 Jun  5 22:36 catch_logs.sh

User crontab looks likes:

Code:
[muser@server scripts]$ crontab -l
SHELL=/bin/bash
PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin

* * * * * /opt/scripts/catch_logs.sh

Now if I run this script manually, I do get an email(configured inside script). But once this script runs via cron, no email is received.

I do not have admin rights on the system so I cannot view any /var/log/* .

Any idea why the script in not sending out email when being triggered by cron ?

NAME
pollrcvd - HylaFAX script for delivering facsimile received by polling SYNOPSIS
/var/spool/fax/bin/pollrcvd mailaddr faxfile devid commid error-msg DESCRIPTION
bin/pollrcvd is the command script invoked by the HylaFAX server whenever a facsimile is received as a result of a polling operation. The default script uses electronic mail to deliver the facsimile to the user that submitted the poll request, and can be controlled by editing the etc/PollDispatch shell script in the spooling area that is sourced by pollrcvd when it runs. The arguments are: mailaddr the electronic mail address of the user that submitted the poll request. faxfile the pathname of the received TIFF file relative to the root of the spooling hierarchy. commid The communication identifier associated with the call (used to include a transcript when an error occurs). devid the modem device on which the document was received. error-msg an error message that is non-null if an error was encountered during the receive operation. NOTES
The default script delivers facsimile as PostScript wrapped in MIME. FILES
/var/spool/fax spooling area /usr/sbin/faxinfo for printing information about the facsimile /usr/bin/fax2ps for converting TIFF to PostScript /usr/sbin/sendmail for delivering mail SEE ALSO
