No email from Cron Jobs

It's odd that it happened on both servers at the same time.

You can check the log file for some clues to whether the mail was sent 
at the proper time.  /var/log/maillog

Issue the 'mailq' command to see if the que is empty.  If you get a list 
of waiting mail, restart sendmail and see if it's delivered.

The problem could be caused by either cron, or sendmail.

I don't know what the TTY log file is.
