Hi,<br><br>Currently we are using the MAIL TO variable to send out mail regarding the various crons that are running, unfortunately or not I have a cron that runs every minute that produces output which will of course cause cron to send out a email. What I really want to do is send out a email if theres a error, there is a bash script that runs a Ruby rake task so I presume there is a way of manipulating the output of that or perhaps log to a file that can be tailed+grepped for any obvious error keywords (which doesn't sound like a great solution).<br>
<br>Any ideas?</blockquote><div><br>My suggestion:<br><br>Use logger in your scripts to collect any and all important information.<br><br>Then use swatch to find patterns in the log file (i.e. when there is an error), swatch can email notifications if required.<br>
