iH, Would this do it? server:$pwd /usr/src/usr.sbin/cron server:$grep -Ri "Cron Daemon" * cron/do_command.c: fprintf(mail, "From: %s (Cron Daemon)\n", usernm); Recompile cron? ]Peter[ **************************************************************** Greetings, here's a simple question for the FreeBSD gurus out there. I have several servers running cron scripts daily for me, and they all send me e-mail with their output. Regardless of which server it is, each of these e-mails have the From: address looking exactly the same. They all say they are from the "Cron Daemon". Fine, but I'd like to know more clearly which server the cron output is from. How can I change the From: address of these emails to "Myserver Cron Daemon" instead? I know cron runs as the user, so it's not immediately obvious to me how to change the From: field. Already the subject line says something like "Cron <root@Myserver> ..." but this doesn't stand out enough for my tired eyes. thanks, Kelly
