Custom cron email headers

[linkhostmedia]

Hi Folks,

I have a cron set up in cPanel which sends an email with the results as expected. I'm wondering if there's a way in cPanel to customize the headers of the cron emails. Right now I seem to have no control over them. Eg:

From: Cron Daemon <root@location.myserver.net>
Subject: Cron <user@location> php -q /home/user/public_html/fn/fn.sitemap-autoupdate.php

Ideas for updating these? Cron job works fine - no issue with that.

Thanks.

After a long wait... bump...

Anyone have input on this?

Thanks,

I'm curious as to what you'd like to customize in the header?

I'd like to change the subject line of the cron email so it's more helpful for my client. Right now, this is my cmd:

curl --silent http://www.example.com/volunteersystem/v_reminder.php

Which produces this subject in the email:

Cron <user@server> curl --silent IANA &mdash; Example domains

I tried this:

curl --silent http://www.example.com/volunteersystem/v_reminder.php 2>&1 | mail -s "Custom Subject" me@example.com

The above works fine, except if there's no output it still sends a blank email with something like "blank output; I hope that's okay". A normal cron just won't send the email if there's no output from php.

For some reason php mail() won't work if I'm using php -q so that's why I'm using curl.

Thoughts?

You are able to edit/add the subject and have, but you'd like it to not send a cron email at all if there's no output?

Sounds like this would be on that script the cron runs to check for changes or updates and then: if/else, if theres changes send, if not, don't. Not sure you can do anything there with a cronjob.
