RE: [cobalt-users] Cron for SMA

[aljuhani <aljuhani@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello.

I have just found that the sma command is under /usr/local/bin/ so you need to 
change your cron script to:

#!/bin/sh
cd /usr/local/bin/
sma -f /usr/local/src/sma-1.3.1/sma.conf /var/log/maillog > 
/home/users/admin/public_html/sma.html

the -f command makes the sma read and apply your configuration file settings 
under /usr/local/src/sma-1.3.1/ which is sma.conf.  You can pico that file and 
change the configs if you want.

Sorry about the last reply but I was thinking of simulating a keyboard input 
as the && sometimes works for certain scripts.

Regards,
