Actually, yes. I missed this part in the original email. If a cronjob generates any output it will (normally) be mailed to the owner of the crontab. For jobs under /etc/cron.daily, this is root. Assuming you've made no changes to you mail system from a stock Debian install root's mail will be in /var/mail/root in mbox format. I usually modify /etc/aliases to include something like "root: $my_user" and configure exim to deliver to ~$user/Maildir. If I'm comfortable enough with the system to allow it to send email to remote SMTP servers, I'll add a ~$my_user/.forward file that points to my primary email address. -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. ,= ,-_-. =. b...@iguanasuicide.net ((_/)o o(\_)) ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy `-'(. .)`-' http://iguanasuicide.net/ \_/
