Status App: [BUG] Email cron job doesn't send an email to the last person

[mreidsma]

This is the way Jon wrote the code. In the short term, I added a dummy account and a dummy system. The dummy system isn't displayed on the site (system_category = 1), and there is one open ticket for the dummy system assigned to the dummy account. The dummy account has an email address that starts with zzz, so that it is always the last once.

When I get a chance I'll rewrite the code to email all addresses.

Might just pull this feature out since our email system doesn't allow emails from our server to get through. Works fine to gmail accounts, but not to gvsu.edu.

I did manage to route the emails to Asana, which works for alerting folks that there are open issues. However, the fact that the cron job doesn't fire is a problem. I suspect it's because @jonbloom is checking for CLI before running the function, hence why it works fine if executed manually from the command line. However, the cron job fails to execute at all.

I've updated the code in f64c8eb to have the hashbang, whill hopefully will work with the cron job. I didn't want to tinker too much with the cron, and it's set to run tomorrow (Saturday) night, so I'll check in Monday to see if it worked.

Sad to see that my code has been giving you a bunch of problems after I left. Sorry friend.

These things pop up! I'm just finally getting to them. Had you stayed, you would have been fixing them. :) I didn't know about the CLI/cronjob issues, and thought I'd tag you to pass it along. One of those things you don't run into all that often.

Hope you're well!
