Sending cronjob log to external email
Hi All,

I would like to know if there away to send cronjob log to external email (such as nazri76@domain.com) instead of to /var/spool/mail/root .

If so, can we attach a file in the mail (e.g. test.log) ?

Need guidance from you guys!

Assuming you are using a unix account named, coocoo to run your job.

- login as coocoo user
- vi $HOME/.forward
- Add in your email address in the .forward

To verify, send mail to coocoo user like this:

mailx for Solaris, mail for Linux
---------------------------
mailx -s "test mail forwarding to coocoo" coocoo
uuencode test.log test.log | mailx -s "test test.log forwarding to coocoo" coocoo
