Title:
  Cron doesn't send output properly

Status in “speech-dispatcher” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: cron

  I have a bash script checking for new versions of Vim (in Bram
  Moolenaar's Mercurial repository) that's run by cron. The script saves
  its output into a log file and, if there is something interesting to
  say, at the and does 'cat $LOG_FILE'. The problem is that when run by
  cron on my newly installed Ubuntu 10.04.2 I don't get the output in
  mail but only 'expr: syntax error' line instead.

  Obviously I thought there was some error in the script at first, but
  after trying and checking I've found none. Besides, the script runs OK
  from command line and the same script runs OK from cron on Ubuntu
  8.04. And I've also found (via checking the script's log whilst it was
  running) that it actually runs OK even here on Ubuntu 10.04.2, only I
  don't get the output. Therefore I'm not even sure whether this bug
  belongs to Cron or Postfix.

  I've also tried to run by cron different parts of the script
  separately, they worked OK and output in mail was OK too.

  I think this might perhaps be related with this discussion I've
  googled: http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/showthread.php?t=45202

  Thx.
