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

exec 2>&1

	date
	cd /home

whoops=no

find . -mount -print |cpio -oBc >/dev/st0 \

|| whoops=yes
if [ '${whoops}" = "yes" ] ; then
tail /catlogbu | mail -s "it's stuffed" someuser

else
echo | mail -s "it's okay" someuser
fi

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?

You may want to elaborate, of course.
