One "correct" way of doing this:
This works best if your script produces the output on STDOUT/STDERR.
Edit your crontab to define the MAILTO environmental variable (see "man
cron" and search for "mail"). This will require setting your MTA
correctly, such that "mail somebody@xxxxxxx" works correctly.
Often, you'd edit your /etc/mail/sendmail.mc (check the comments at the
top of this file for what to do once it's edited) and set the SMART_HOST
variable to your SMTP relay (which must be configured to allow relaying
from your RHEL box). This can be somewhat tricky, as there's no one
single way of setting up a mail relay.
