Hi Guys.,,
This thing is driving me crazy..
I have this script which runs perfectly fine. If it is not able to connect to database it will drop a mail which it does when i ran it manually.
But when i am running it from crontab, the script is not sending mail to me but to my id(login id) in the box. In that log, am able to see that the mailx command ran still i am not able to get any mails for it..
Can you guys tell me where i am overlooking.
I am pasting the log i got from my mailbox (unix).

Guys.. the issue was not with cron command.. but with the mail command
echo "$msg\n\nServer : `hostname`\nSent on : `date`\nScript : Email" | mail -s "$0 - $sub" "$NotifyList"
The "-" was causing a problem..i replaced it with :
Still i am just wondering how the script ran fine when i ran it manually??
