CPU & Memory mailx in scripts
Guys

if i wanna send a mail ,i just type

"mailx -s "test" <ak@abc.com>

without 'CTRL+d' interrupt,mail won be sent.

If i wish to achive this in a script,how do i handle the interrupt?

Regards
Abhi

What you can do in a script is as below:

=======================================
mailx -s "test" whoever@wherever.com <<-EOF
hello
EOF
=======================================

You can use any word for "EOF" in the above example but it makes most sense as "End Of File/Input" is what ctrl-D does.

Make sure there is no indent before "EOF"

thanks guys.

If mailx is receiving input from say,'if' loop or 'cat' command,its sure going to end ,without a need of EOF signal.

I have two enviroments.On both envs,mailx is under 'if' loop.
On one env,'if' gets executed ,mail is sent ,script ends but on other env its stuck at mailx command.Why so?

Does mailx version make a diffrence?
