MAILTO for Crontab at Isilon OneFS
Hi,
I need help on this one.
I would like to use the CRON to send email to me daily about the quota status but it doesn't work.
I updated the Cron at /etc/mcp/override/crontab.smbtime.
#
#
0 8 * * * root /usr/bin/isi quota list --type=directory --exceeded
#
#
I even tried to output the quota to a log file then but it still does not working.
#
#
0 8 * * * root /usr/bin/isi quota list --type=directory --exceeded> /ifs/data/script/quota.log
Note: without the MAILTO, the quota cli works fine.
Thanks,
Best regards

@Cherlu
1. sendmail binary has been deprecated in OneFS 8+, only sendmail libraries still exist.
try sendml.py:
https://www.dell.com/community/Isilon/Sendmail-from-an-Isilon-cluster/td-p/6994008
It's similar to mailx linux syntax. SMTP has to be set on Isilon cluster. Check local node "/var/log/messages" for any messages.
# python sendml.py
Usage: sendml.py: [-f sender] -t recipient [ -t recipient ... ] [-s subject] [-b body] [-a attachment]
# python sendml.py -t name@company.com -s "test0" -b "test1"
# tail /var/log/messages

My cron job issue is that the MAILTO=" " doesn't work.
I added my email as MAILTO="my@email.com" but cron doesn't send out the cron job to my email address.
Thanks,
