 |
|
Hey all,
I have some cron jobs which take a little while to run and have some output which I would like sent to me. The past few times I've run them they die in the middle with this error in my mail.log:
| Code: | localhost log # more mail.log.0
Jul 18 03:15:30 localhost sSMTP[3872]: Connection lost in middle of processing |
There is also about half of the expected output (the second half) in a dead.letter file in my home directory.
Any ideas as to why it's dying or how I can get it to finish?
Thanks,
P |

Hi did you manage to solve this problem?
I have the same with a few jobs that take about 10-12 hours to complete and produce several megabytes of output.
| Code: | | Dec 28 10:29:06 data sSMTP[3608]: Connection lost in middle of processing |
cheers,

Hi,
Thanks for replying. Tho i already saw your other thread regarding this problem.
I know i should probably use an mta like postfix or sendmail. But for now i find this
too much of an overkill for the output of a single cronjob.
I think sSMTP just cannot handle the timespan or the amount of data cron feeds it 
Again, thanks for your response, and have a good 2005 
Cheers,
