I am running a half dozen different cron jobs from my hosting at Hostmonster.com. When a cronjob has been executed I receive an email with the output of the script.
The email comes in the format of:
From: Cron Daemon Subject: Cron /ramdisk/bin/php5 -c /home5/username/scheduled/optimize_mysql.bash
The problem with this is that the subject of the email makes it very hard to read which cronjob the email is pertaining to.
Is there a way to modify the subject of a cronjob email so that it's easier to read?
For example:
From: Cron Daemon Subject: Optimize MySQL Database
