cron output to an external email

[Javier Villegas]

Hi

I am using contrab in Solaris 8 for make my Oracle DB Backup and every day I
saw the log in the Solaris Mailbox.

I need to send this log to an Internet email.

Do you know how can I do it ?

Thanks

Javier from Argentina

try this: mail xx...@yyyyy.net < "/full_path_to/your_log_file" (leave out
the quotes)
where xxxxx and yyyyy are valid email "parts" and "your_log_file" is the
log you wish to send. Not the "<" redirect symbol.

I do this on a Linux box so it should also work for you.

Also make an entry in a crontab. as root for example do: crontab -e and
put in something like
0 3 * * * /cron_scripts/producer_cron.sh > /dev/null 2>&1
this will cause a file by the name of test.sh conatain the mail
xx...@yyyyy.net < "/full_path_to/your_log_file" to run at 3am.

If that does not work try
mailx -s "subject text" xx...@yyyyy.net < /full/ilename_here

Cerate an .forward file in Oracle DB Backup user's home directory and put
that email address where you need to send this log.

Make sure you use the full pathname for mail or mailx, whichever one
you use.
