I have exactly the same problem : https://askubuntu.com/a/117989/1012849

What i don't understand it's how to specify path of SHELL=/bin/sh Because i can't move my script from : 

/home/ubuntu/folder/monitoring.sh

do I have to specify the path on my script or on the crontab? and how can I retrieve the path?

there's the content of my crontab : 

*/1 7-19 * * * /home/ubuntu/folder/monitoring.sh

Content of monitoring.sh

#!/bin/bash

touch testcronsh.txt
python monitoring.py

Actually when i try to execute my script via crontab i have that error :

/bin/sh: 1: root: not found
python bash root cron mta

Is there an easy way to install a MTA on Ubuntu and forward all email to a different remote email box? Only want to forward local email and looking for something dead simple. Thank you!

Clarification:

I see that ssmtp and nullmailer are suggested, but I need something (just a) little more clever. I have one machine (machine.domain1.com) where I want local mail to be delivered at [email protected] and I want it delivered through direct connection to mx.domain2.com

So when I do mail root on machine1.com it should get forward to [email protected]. Issue with nullmailer and ssmtp is that forwarding is done to mx.domain2.com but mail is delivered with a RCPT TO set to [email protected] and I want the RCPT TO set to [email protected]

Possible with a simple solution or do I need to digg into postfix or exim for this?
