KCron display, showing strange separation of job and mailto
You have to set the MAILTO variable at the "Environment Variables" list at the bottom half of the kcron window. You cannot set "per command" environment variables as you are used from the bash command line. If you want some variables only to be applied to a specific command, you probably have to wrap it in a separate script that you execute. If unsure, please verify the resulting crontab using the "crontab -l" command. Root mail from every other application already goes to the required address. If kcron needs something different it should at least be obvious how and where to set it. cron uses its own set of environment variables for security reasons, and it is assumed that kcron users understand how cron works. The kcron documentation ("Help" button) additionally mentions the MAILTO variable. |
