script would be saved in a text file and i want that text file to sent to a group of people through Microsoft outlook. Do we have an option for this?If so please suggest me with the solution..

cron by default mails the output of the program (if any) to the owner of the cronjob.
You can change the recipient by specifying in the crontab:
Code:
MAILTO=[/i]emailaddress[i]

That email address would be the group email or shared folder in Microsoft Exchange. Alternatively you can set up your local email system with an alias (see /etc/aliases) which will send mail to several people.
