Problem with --install-cron (ver 11.1.3)

Hi,

When I try the --install-cron option I don't get the installing cron question, I get:

XSIBackup PID:            90046                                        vmware.xxxxxx.net

The e-mail report will not be sent because of the followig reasons:
The --mail-from string has not been set
The --smtp-srv string has not been set
The --smtp-port string has not been set
etc.

When I try the old version (10.3.4) it works fine.
