2.12.3. Reports on cron tasks execution

To send reports on the execution of cron tasks to your email when adding or editing a task, specify your email address in the "Send report to email" field:

Report sending is based on the use of standard input/output streams in Unix systems. A report is sent only if the script outputs any result or error. This information will be included in the body of the message.

Messages are NOT sent:

  • When starting the task manually using the "Test run of the task" button (instead of sending the result to email, it is displayed in the window).
  • When the command being run does not display anything on the screen.
  • When the output of the command is suppressed (for example, >> /dev/null 2>&1 is added at the end of the command).

If the script being run does not output any information after execution, add output commands such as echo or print to the script to get reports on task runs.

Important points:

  • Messages with reports are counted in email sending limits per day.
  • By default, reports are sent from the account email. If you encounter problems with delivery or messages going to spam, change it to one of the mailboxes using the "Report sender's email" button.
  • If all conditions for sending are met, but the messages are not arriving, try using alternative methods.
