System error messages mailed to me and boss while crontab messages mailed to me only.

[roel_hawk]

Hi,

We have setup /etc/aliases to forward system error messages to me and my boss.

My boss does not want to receive cron job report because the size sometimes is big( around 5mb for backup scheduled in cron)

So how can I setup the system so that my boss and I receive system error messages but only I can receive crontab messages.

hope my message is clear.

thanks

Hi,

just use three different mail aliases/adresses:
- one for msgs to you
- one for msgs to your boss
- one for msgs to both

Normal EMS error messages are received by user root. So just change EMS monitoring to send mail to different user(s) with /etc/opt/resmon/lbin/monconfig. The cron messages will go to root user - so remove your boss from that alias and add it to alias who receive EMS monitoring messages.
