Worked like a charm... I edit my crontab like sudo crontab -u mykhyggz -e At the top, is MAILTO="[EMAIL PROTECTED]" My user belongs to cron group: groups wheel cron users mykhyggz Cron is running: top bn1|grep cron 5068 root 18 0 3072 692 552 S 0.0 0.7 0:00.00 cron 15 08 * * * echo hello world should have sent me an email with 'hello world' in the body at 8:15, or so I believe, but didn't. What else can I check? Cheers, -- |\ /| | | ~ ~ | \/ | |---| `|` ? | |ichael | |iggins \^ / michael.higgins[at]evolone[dot]org -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
