Re: [Bug-mcron] How to set output to be emailed?

[Jean Louis]

Hello Mathieu,

thank you.

I don't know any more, it is not good to try with trial and guesses. I
have expected mcron to behave similarly as vixie cron. That means, if I
define MAILTO, the output shall be sent to that email address.

It is extremely useful feature as by that way I can know what remote
servers are doing.

Now I am using mcron in that "experimental mode" but don't know how to
send emails to administrators.

Another thing is that mcron shall itself verify if it is already runing
or not, and if it is already by specific user in the memory, it shall
not invoke itself again.
