Solaris

Hello All,

In SunOS 10, I have some cron jobs and it is running fine but the cron job outputs are not mailing to any acount of the system.

In other OS, we have option like MAILTO variable or /dev/null to disable but in Sun I have no idea how it is disabled by default and how do I enable.
Please help me.

Thank you.

clarify these: "acount of the system"
Are you now referring to the script or he cron entry? pls be specific bro

checked /var/cron/log file for errors ?

Solaris does NOT use the MAILTO variable. You can use the mail command to send E-mail output of cron jobs. For example, to mail the output of a script to a user, you can format the cron command similarly to the following (keeping everything on a single line in your crontab).

* * * * * /path-to/yourscript | /bin/mail someone@mydomain.com

or write a to run your job and send an email, see the example in my below comment.

===========================================

SUPERVISOR="root, you@somewhere"
....
mail ${SUPERVISOR} < $LOGFILE


make your crontable looks like:

5 * * * * /path-to/yourscript >/dev/null 2>&1

ave a look at this nice cron FAQ:
Unix FAQ - Cron

What I want to say is "users of the system" i.e by default specific cron job owner should receive email or atleast the root if there is any in error in system/cron daemon.

Yup.. I guessed right.. see my comments

Sorrry for the confusion. I elaborate my problem as below:
If I run a script through cron then cron should send a output and error messages of the script by default to the owner of the cron job that is not working in my system.
