Hello Fellow Managers,
I have a 4100 (glcustap) and an ES40 (dgux01), both running 4.0E, that have
an account (orabatch) strictly for running CRON jobs. Also, of probable
importance, is that I have set the systems up as Mail Clients due to some
flakiness with Exchange.
The annoyance that I'm experiencing is that the output of the cron jobs,
since it is not redirected, is being emailed to orabatch. Since Exchange
cannot resolve this name it gets kicked back to root's mailbox as a send
failure with an unknown addressee. This appears to be normal and I don't
think this is an error.
Now, I can send email to orabatch_at_glcustap.glgt.com successfully, but not
orabatch or orabatch_at_localhost.
How can I tell cron to send emails to fully qualified email addresses?
I understand that I can redirect the output on the crontab command line, but
I'd really like to know how cron does this.
