Two good possibilities:
1. The popular one: at the cron command pipe the output of the cron to a
mailx command eg:
* * * * * * cronjob command | mailx -s "Subject" user_at_b.com
2. if the command is actually a script to be fired, then in the script place
the same mailx command in 1 above into the script.

Of course, you can modify option 1 and convert it into option 2 format.

Once again, thanks very much

Subject: Subject for cron


Hi Managers
        I don't know if this is possible:

You know that cron sends a mail message whenever a job is completed.
What I would like to know is: Is there a way of including a subject for this
cron mail message?

The reason is that I have SEVERAL cron jobs running that get forwarded to my
Microsoft Exchange server. When I read these cron mail messages, there is no
subject to distinguish them.

Alternate solutions are also welcome :-))

Warm regards
Andre
