Unable to get output in mail body after running cron
I have prepared script to get the file details everyday and send mail. while running bash script manually , it sends output in body . but does not send through cron.
cron sends only subject . I believe have to use some wait or sleep syntex. to complete first . please help.

Code:
#!/bin/bash
ls -altrh /syslog --time-style=+%D | grep $(date +%D)  |awk '{print $7'} >output.txt
echo -e "SYSLOG Status on Date- `date '+%A %d-%B, %Y'`">output1.txt
echo "------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------">>output1.txt
echo -e "HostName \t\t\t Status   ">>output1.txt
echo "------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------">>output1.txt
for hosts in `cat hosts.txt`;
do
output=$(grep -i -w  $hosts output.txt)
if [ $? == 0 ] ;
then
echo -e "$hosts \t\t Log Received">>output1.txt
else
echo -e "$hosts \t\t Log Not-Received">>output1.txt
sleep 5
fi
done
mailx -s "Syslog-Status------Date-`date '+%A %d-%B, %Y'`" abc@abc.com<output1.txt
