I was trying to get cron to work -- it looks like it is invoking something on a regular basis, however, it is also trying to send the 1 line of output of cron job to the owner.
In the process it includes the entire environment (in this case of the user who started cron, me). It includes the environment as Header lines: X-Cron-Env: <SESSIONNAME=Console> X-Cron-Env: <SHLVL=1> ...[78 more lines of Environment Variable listing] This causes sendmail to fail since apparently sendmail has a 4000 character limit in the header. I don't know that I've seen cron include the entire environment as header lines before. Is that normal behavior? Am I just exceptionally 'lucky' in that I've hit an obscure limit in sendmail or is this a limitation of sendmail on cygwin? Any ideas where I should start to address this would be appreciated. It seems slightly kludgey to, say write a manual script to clear out the environment, but I dunno -- no more kludgy than hard coding a 4000 character header limit... -linda -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
