The biggie is no DATE: header. And the MTA can only apply a DATE: header for the time it received the cron output. The time the cron task started is lost. This is a bug in cron from day 1, it seems and I will be submitting this whole shebang as a bug.
Why not just have your crontab call a script?
#!/bin/sh
echo Start Time `date`
rsync .......
echo End Time `date`
I think if I run my rsync tasks within time, I would get this, but the
problem is more the post processing.
Here is my post processing script so far:
local]# cat mycron
#!/bin/sh
exec 3>> /var/spool/mail/$USER
currentDate=$(date +'%a %b %d %T %Y')
echo "From cron@localhost $currentDate" >&3
currentDate2=$(date +'%a, %e %b %Y %T %z (%Z)')
echo "Date: $currentDate2" >&3
(cat) >&3
echo "" >&3
I suspect I could add a couple of sed commands acting on file &3 to fix
the FROM and TO headers, adding the hostname...
Probably could also work out something for a MESSAGE-ID header.
Oh, I am having selinux problems with this script for cron tasks run as
root. I have submitted a question about it to the selinux list.
