Yes dude, that's not an issue I can see of, since this can be done within your script , by using mailx for example...

It would be helpful if cron does this job instead of configuring mail for each and every script and it is working fine in some other systems. Moreover my cron job is running in a child zone.

Hi Brother,
Cron automatically sends cron job output mail to user in other systems. I want the same in my system or atleast I would like to know how to enable since anyhow it will be useful to users.

Thank you.

Are you talking about a fresh configuration of sendmail? (you sound so.. Smilie )

Like any Unix and Unix-like OS, Solaris cron is sending mails to users when relevant and the default sendmail configuration is sufficient for this to work.

Are you sure you haven't disabled the sendmail service ?

Code:
# svcs -xv sendmail

After re-configuring sendmail, this problem has been solved.

Thanks to the members incredible, jlliagre & all.
