Hi,
In the past I had the (bad ?) habit to use "crontab -e" and add new crontab lines to perform rsync jobs with success/fail mail notifications.
Recently we upgraded to 11.1-U4 and we realized the crontab was replaced and our previous crontab version has not been saved in the system snapshot made during the upgrade.
I've been told "crontab -e" was not the way to add cron in FreeNAS and I had to use web ui.
So I went to the rsync task web ui and then I realized I could not receive any mail notification : I don't know if rsync job failed or succeed (I have to ssh and look the /var/log/cron file)
Therefore it appears to me that if I want to perform a rsync task with mail notification, I have to use the FreeNAS crontab web ui with rsync and mail command line ... ... ...
