What are options available to get cron's results and how to set them up?
To email the output to a different email address just add the line
MAILTO="user@example.com"To the crontab before the command
You could chuck file redirection onto either the command shown or the actual command in the crontab for both stdout and stderr - like command > /tmp/log.txt 2>&1 .
If you want several users to receive this log, you could insert a MAILTO=nameofmailinglist at the top of you cron file.
The cron line is just like any other unix command line so you can redirect output to another program. Ie.
* * * * * /path/my/command > /my/email/script 2&>1
