Hi all, I scheduled the backup and entered the following in the crontab: 35 19 * * * /usr/bin/backup.cron >>/catlogbu The file backup.cron contains date cd /home find . -mount -print |cpio -oBc >/dev/st0 && echo "backup succesfull"; date ; mt -f /dev/st0 eject Normally I should get an email telling me something about this backup, but I do not. I would like to send an email or message to some user telling about the result of the backup. How can I do this? Roland Brouwers Email roland@xxxxxx
