Hi

Just a quickie. Does Cron default to sending a status email to the email address specified on the "Site Information" page ? I can't find anywhere else the email address could be specified.

Is it possible to nominate a specific email address to receive Cron emails ?

Thanks

Dave

Alternatively You can use http://drupal.org/project/logging_alerts , you can also send mail when cron runs via rules module,

I believe Cron emails are a server setting, not a Drupal setting. I have the ability to choose a destination email address on my server when setting up the cronjob.

The other thing you could do if you want to do this inside the Drupal system is to create a module that runs on cron and fires a mail off to the specified email address on Cron run. Actually, I could probably create this in about 20 minutes if you really need it. Send me a private message if you are interested.

Edit: or you could just use the module that the user above me mentioned - I kind of skipped his post before posting mine.

Contact me to contract me for D7 -> D10/11 migrations.

Drupal does not send emails when cron runs.

If you are getting emails from "Cron Daemon" they are coming from your Unix/Linux server.

You are absolutely right. I had a closer look at the CPANEL configuration for Cron and the is a field at the top of the configuration page "Please enter an email address where the cron output will be sent:". Mystery solved.

Thanks all.
