I have a few dozen cron jobs, which run every day, for backups.
- I don't want to receive an email for only failed jobs, as I won't know when the email fails.
- I don't want to receive an email for every job, as that would be too many to check.
I would like a single daily email report of the exit codes of those jobs. Ideally the subject line will change if any of the exit codes are non-zero.
My current thought is that I will turn these jobs into a single shell script which can collect the return codes and then send the email.
Getting a single daily report from cron seems like a common requirement. Are there already tools or settings which will do this for me?
