So I have a mail server configured and I want cron to send me a summary each time it runs the task…
Am I asking for to much?
No.
Run:
crontab -e
and add this as a first line:
MAILTO="email@my.domain"
This will tell cron that You want it to send You e-mail to the email@my.domain with a summary after each job was ran.
You have to do this for each user – setting up MAILTO parameter for lets say user john will only send You messages for tasks ran by john’s crontab.
Cheers.
