The apt cron job only generates output when there are issues. It runs as root. I have an alias "root: bss". My daily job to check for upgradable packages runs as my user. It only generates output when there are packages that could be upgraded. In my home directory on each server, I have a .forward file with the contents "bss@iguanasuicide.net". Each server knows how to send mail via (E)SMTP, although most either do not listen on any interface besides lo OR that port firewalled (most ports are firewalled). So, I the results of all the cron jobs I care about delivered to my primary private email address. Once there, some get filtered by my sieve scripts. Logcheck has its own folder, for example. -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. ,= ,-_-. =. bss@iguanasuicide.net ((_/)o o(\_)) ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy `-'(. .)`-' http://iguanasuicide.net/ \_/
