Is it necessary that information about an unsuccessful launch through the crontab of any task be sent to a specific email?

Question

PHP

There is a php script /home/clients/test_ftp0/domains/ example.com/html/sendEmail.php . It is set to 00 9,15 * * 1,3,5 wget example.com/sendEmail.php . How can I make sure that all error information from all domains on this account is sent to a specific email address?

Answer 1

at the beginning of the crontab ( sudo -u %username% crontab -e) add a line
MAILTO=
with the desired soap.
And set the STDOUT output of the command to /dev/null so that successful executions do not arrive to you.

[email protected]
0 */2 * * * /bin/backup.sh > /dev/null

PS: do not run via wget, but rewrite it to php-cli and move it outside the document_root of the site so that it cannot be reached from outside.

Answer 2

we set set_error_handler throwing ErrorException (see manual) and wrap the code in try / catch, in the catch block we log the error using syslog, to open the log we use openlog with the argument facility = LOG_MAIL
