Yum-cron Email Notification Doesn’t Appear

Hi.

I’m installed yum-cron and set:

# by default MAILTO is unset, so crond mails the output by itself
# example: MAILTO=root MAILTO=”root@domain.org.ua”

I see in log that yum-cron done it’s job:

# grep “yum” /var/log/cron Aug 11 03:08:02 venti run-parts(/etc/cron.daily)[4516]: starting
0yum.cron Aug 11 03:49:30 venti run-parts(/etc/cron.daily)[4761]: finished
0yum.cron

And I see that packages really updated, but – I don’t see email notifications in my mail box… I got notification from spamd, for example, but nothing from yum-cron.

How can i find it in maillog? Some text from ‘Subject’?

# grep “yum” /var/log/maillog

Doesn’t give result.

Or – some other way to check?

Thanks for tips.

One thought on - Yum-cron Email Notification Doesn’t Appear

  • Anything run by cron.daily scripts result in _one_ email (unless of course the script being run by cron.daily sends mail itself).

    If you want a separate message, set up a cronjob separate from cron.daily in cron.d

    grep for “run-parts /etc/cron.daily”
