Hi webster,

I checked and mutt does not seemed to be installed on the servers, so this is why you're receiving an error message.

I tested a few options, and I was able to get the following cron command to work:

<div class="code_block">for i in `ls /home/user/access-logs/`; do mail -s "$i" "you@yourdomain.com" < /home/user/access-logs/$i;done;</div>

What this does is sends you a separate email for each file in the access-logs directory. The subject of the email is the log file name, and the body is the actual log.

I hope this helps!

Thanks,

- Brad
