error sending email via mutt/msmtp w/ cronjob (status 0x0001 from MTA#012)

his bash script works fine when run from CLI -

Quote:

#!/bin/bash tail -n 50 /var/log/suricata/fast.log > "$(date '+%Y-%m-%d_%H-%M-%S').log" echo "Hello this is the body message, we are sending email with attachement using mutt and msmtp" | mutt -a /home/osboxes/Downloads/"$(date '+%Y-%m-%d_%H-%M-%S').log" -s "this is the subject of the message" -- xxxx@gmail.com

However, I tried to install a cronjob to run it daily but it isn't working, this is the job:

# m h dom mon dow command
* * * * * root /home/osboxes/Downloads/sendlogzzz.sh

sudo crontab -l :

# m h dom mon dow command
* * * * * root /home/osboxes/Downloads/sendlogzzz.sh

(I intentionally set it to send every minute to see if it would work).

I looked sudo grep CRON /var/log/syslog :

This is my ssmtp config:

root=postmaster SERVER=xxx@gmail.com # The place where the mail goes. The actual machine name is required no # MX records are consulted. Commonly mailhosts are named mail.domain.com mailhub=smtp.gmail.com:587 AuthUser=xxx@gmail.com AuthPass=xxx UseTLS=YES UseSTARTTLS=YES # Where will the mail seem to come from? rewriteDomain=gmail.com # The full hostname hostname=osboxes.lan # Are users allowed to set their own From: address? # YES - Allow the user to specify their own From: address # NO - Use the system generat

Based on what I've read on other threads it looks like the proper format...not sure what to troubleshoot
