Email is not sending when the script is running by CRON
- by Adam Blok
I wrote the simple backup bash script and at the end of it, it's sending an email to me that backup is ready. Everything works perfect when I run this script from terminal (root), but when the script is running by CRON, email is not sending :-/.
#!/bin/sh
filename=$(date +%d-%m-%Y)
backup_dir="/mnt/backup/"
email_from_name="BACKUP"
email_to="my@email"
email_subject="Backup is ready"
email_body_file="/tmp/backup-email-body.txt"
tar czf "$backup_dir$filename.tgz" "/home/www"
echo "Subject: $email_subject" > $email_body_file
ls $backup_dir -sh >> $email_body_file
sendmail -F $email_from_name -t $email_to < $email_body_file
