Hi folks,
I have a little problem with cron that has been bugging me for a while
but I can't find a solution. I, as many of you no doubt do, run a
nightly backup script using cron. Every morning I would check my email
and there would be a nice fresh report of how the backup went.
About 6 months ago there was an update to cron and the emails stopped
appearing from that job. What I can't understand is the fact that I get
email from all my other cron jobs and if I comment out the couple of
slow steps in the backup job (burning the DVD and checking it) I get
email again. What seems to be happening is that the output is discarded
if the job runs for longer than about 30 minutes. Is there a setting
that would cause this?
You help is most appreciated as this one has been bugging me for ages.
