[nslu2-linux] Re: [openslug] Send mail with nail in crontab

I don't see the cause, but maybe I can help you to find it:
Add to the end of your crontab line the following
>/tmp/myLog.out 2>/tmp/myLog.err

By inspecting the two files after the defined time has passed you will most probably find the problem.
