 |
|
Hi,
I have (at the moment) 2 servers running fcron jobs and mailing them to me.
They all come into 1 mailbox. It's hard to find out which server mailed what.
is it possible to change the "from" header of the mails fcron sends to contain the machine name?
Greets,
Niels |

If you are using a MTA that has a wrapper for /usr/sbin/sendmail, you could modify your cron script to look like that:
| Code: | #!bin/sh
MAILFROM="mycronalias"
SENDMAIL=/usr/sbin/sendmail
TMPFILE=/tmp/mytmpfile
/usr/bin/mycronexec > $TMPFILE
(echo "From: $MAILFROM"
echo "Subject: my cron subject"
echo ""
cat $TMPFILE) | $SENDMAIL root
rm -f $TMPFILE
exit 0 |
