By default, stderr is sent to $MAILTO, which is usually root.
There are many few ways to do it. Here are two.
Redirect stderr and send all output to an address:
bad_scripty.sh 2>&1 | mailto -s "Subject goes here"" add@ress.com
Change $MAILTO for that line in the crontab and send only errors to that
address:
( MAILTO=another@address.com; bad_scripty.sh | mailto -s "Subject goes
here"" add@ress.com )

[WBEL-users] crontab error
Whitebox users,
I have a cron job that emails its out put to an email address as well as
the local user account on the machine. Problem is, when the script
the cron calls errors
out for one reason or another and doesn't run I only get notification of
this on the local system account. Could anyone help me harvest this error
info and send it to an email account outside the local machine?
Thanks for you help,
Chris
