Delayed Crontab notification message

[Enda martin]

Using crontab I run a job which uses the "remsh" command to execute a job as a different user. It works fine but for some reason the crontab notification message which appears in my ELM takes hours to arrive.

Is there a reason for this ??

Hi!

Please check the sendmail log:

/var/adm/mail/mail.log

Hi,

Check the sendmail with the comand:
mailq
"mailq print a summary of the mail message queued for future delivery"
and check the file /etc/mail/sendmail.cf
you can change the configuration file:
set the variable DS
eg.
DS pmdf.xxxxx.xxx.xxxxx.com

- check the file .forward and aliases
if you change the file alises you need the execute the command newalises to rebuilds the database for the mail aliases file.

I hope its help you,
Eliane
