I don't know about your implementation of cron, but mine supports the
MAILTO environment variable for exactly this sort of thing.
I don't seem to have MAILTO on my system (CentOS 4).
Yes, you do. It's a variable you set in your crontab, not a command.
You can read all about it:
man 5 crontab
Alternatively, you could set an alias to point root mail to
[EMAIL PROTECTED], which might be useful for other purposes. All
depends on what you need.
I'm not certain the MAILTO construct will work to send the output of
different commands to different users, or if it's set for the entire
crontab. (It will probably work, I just haven't tried it personally.)
