We had encountered an issue recently whereby crontab didn’t run on the solaris 2.6 server due the password expired of the login id for which crontab has been configured. No cronjob ran and cronlog only repoted “bad user” error. We would like to findout if there are any workarounds to resolve the above issue, without disabling the password expiration policy. Are there any other ways to send SMTP mail to the admin to change passwords before it expires.
