-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Not sure how you have it set up, but from my experience, cron emails you any output from the job. So if you wrapped your mysqldump in a bash script that checked the status of the last command and printed a message, you could get a response from a successful job. For example, put this in a script: #!/bin/bash mysqldump -u bugsroot DB1 > /home/bugsroot/db1.bak if [[ $? -eq 0 ]] ;then echo "MySQLDump was successful." else echo "Problems with MySQLDump." fi Then, change your cronjob to: MAILTO="david@xxxxxxx" 0 18 * * * /home/bugsroot/mysql_dump.sh - -- - - Charlie 5A27 58D2 C791 8769 D4A4 F316 7BF8 D1F6 4829 EDCF In memoriam: http://www.militarycity.com/valor/1029976.html > -----Original Message----- > From: fedora-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx > [mailto:fedora-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of M E Fieu > Sent: Monday, December 12, 2005 11:00 AM > To: fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx > Subject: send mail during cron job for sucessful task > > Hey, I have the crontab setting up as following, whenever the > job fail it will send email to me at > david@xxxxxxxx but if the job is successful, it won't send > mail.
