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

Thanks,

It returns me this :
$ cat /tmp/myLog.err
/usr/lib/sendmail: No such file or directory
. . . message not sent.

And I have this in nail bin :
$strings /usr/bin/nail | grep sendmail
sendmail
/usr/lib/sendmail

But I don't understand why it works in shell.

Thank you for your help
