shush project runs a command and than reports its output by email. It is a useful wrapper around cron jobs.
shush was written to be a generic wrapper around cron jobs so that it can be applied to any command without having to modify it or create a custom wrapper for it.
In a sense, it solves a fairly simple problem, but it also brings some powerful features making it a useful tool beyond cron jobs.
