E-mail based on crontab hour
I have a cron: 0 5,11,17,23 * * * /home/oracle/scripts/sysize.ksh

This cron will trigger

cat dbsz.txt | mail -s "$TODAY: PROD DB Size" $RECIPIENTS

I don't want to get the e-mail notice 4 times a day. Can I have just one e-mail triggered at 11 AM?

Please advise.

Thank you

Check hour and send email only if 11:
Code:
HR=$( date +"%H" )

if [ $HR -eq 11 ]
then
      cat dbsz.txt | mail -s "$TODAY: PROD DB Size" $RECIPIENTS
fi

You have told cron to run it 4 times a day. If you only want it to run at 11, just change your cron line:

Code:
0 11 * * * /home/oracle/scripts/sysize.ksh
