| Hello, | | I'm running this crontab. When I run /cygdrive/e/wsus/run_all_groups.sh | from a command line it works but when I run it from cron I get no | content in the email I recive. | | My Crontab: | MAILTO="" | # minute hour day of month month day of week command | 0 8 * * 2,4 | /cygdrive/e/wsus/run_all_groups.sh | 0 22 * * 0,2 | /cygdrive/e/wsus/run_all_groups.sh | 0 16 * * * | /cygdrive/e/wsus/run_all_groups.sh | 51 15 * * * | /cygdrive/e/wsus/run_all_groups.sh | Given that MAILTO="", you should not receive an e-mail. So that answers the Subject of your e-mail. However the body suggests that you receive some e-mail from cron, which is strange. Could you clarify what the problem is, tell us if cron is running (ps -a shows it), provide any useful info from the Windows event log and /var/log/cron.log as well as the output of 'cygcheck -srv > cygcheck.txt' as an attachment. If you remove MAILTO="", cron will attempt to send you the output through /usr/sbin/sendmail. What does that point to? If it points to /usr/bin/cronlog, the output should appear in HOME/cron.log, or in case of error there should be temporary files in /tmp.
