[Gllug] Crons and mail

[william pink]

Hi,

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).

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Will
