What OS are you talking about here? What script for what log ? Based on my experience, once you set up the aliases for root in /etc/aliases, it does not matter what happens in the machine or script. Any email that is accepted by the sendmail (as MDA) for root will get forwarded to the account you set up in the alias. The script does not have anything to do with that. But I could be wrong. I've used this approach on all our machines (Redhat 7.x-9, RHEL 3,4, Fedora) and it always works. Could you try, as local user to the machine, send email locally to root, and see if you get it in the expected email account ? something like user> echo "helloworld" | mail root This will make sure that local email to root works.
