[rhn-users] syntax of my cronjob

[Riley, Liz (ACHE)]

Your command line

#/opt/app/cron/runjob.sh > /opt/app/cron/runjob.out |cat
/opt/app/cron/runjob.out | mail -s "Job Output" me at gmail.com

should have had a ; before the cat not  |

However, there are some options

1.  /opt/app/cron/runjob.sh | mail -s "Job Output" me at gmail.com

would do the same, but not write it to the disk, so you would never need
remove it

2. /opt/app/cron/runjob.sh | tee /opt/app/cron/runjob.out | mail -s "Job
Output" me at gmail.com

would also write it to the file as well as stdout so it could mail it.
