Shell Programming and Scripting

I have a script which checks for swap usage of the unix server.
A cron job has been created to execute this script every hour and send the output via mail.

This output is only required for a particular duration and it can range anywhere from 6 hours to 10 hours. So we are commenting out the cron entry whenever it is not required.

Is there a way by which I can get all these hourly mails consolidated into a single mail?

Thanks in advance.

Easiest is prepare a file with all these outputs and and send it across as mail at the final time.

Remove the mail functionality from your script and create a new script to mail which accept file as input and sends mail. Now

- schedule your original script every hour which will keep appending file.
- schedule the another script at the end of the day or your choice of time to send the mail.
