The simplist way to do it is get you scripts to print out a to, from and subject line at the top of their output containing the information you want. eg To: y...@mailbox.com From: scriptn...@hostname.com Subject: scriptname, hostname other script output Then in the cron pipe the output into sendmail with the t flag eg 1 1 * * * somescript 2>&1 | /usr/sbin/sendmail -t you will then get the loverly named emails _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
