Mailx command doubt
hi all,

I would need to add the description in the below syntax. let me know the below syntaxt how it can be changed to add the description in the below.

Code:
ps -ef | grep "server" | mailx -s "servers currently which are running" operational@acel.com

Code:
Server 62 -> Used for User acessing.
Server 65 -> Used for Database acessing.

---------- Post updated at 02:38 AM ---------- Previous update was at 02:23 AM ----------

currently, my script is sending the server running in the backend. I would need to add the
below body in my unix script with the existing unix syntax.

Code:
Server 62 -> Used for User acessing.
Server 65 -> Used for Database acessing.

Hello arun888,

Could you please try following and let us know if this helps you.
Code:
 ps -ef | grep "server" | mailx -s "servers currently which are running" xyz@abc.com <<EOF
Server 62 -> Used for User acessing.
Server 65 -> Used for Database acessing.
EOF

Thanks,
R. Singh

The "ps" output will perhaps never give you the information you want, even if you can patch the output to something similar to what you want (using grep/awk/sed/...). The problem is that "ps" lists processes and processes are indifferent in regards to their (organisational) use. That is, if you have a one mail server instance used for DB access and another for user access you will - from the ps output - not be able to differentiate between them.

But maybe you could tell us more (in plain English) about what you want to achieve and we can figure out some way to do just that. So, please elaborate about your project.

I hope this helps.

thanks for you update.

Currently, in crontab i have scheduled a script daily to let the user know what are the process running in the backend in daily basis.

Code:
unix]$ ps -ef | grep 'Srv634'
svr 11394  4120  1 04:15:05 pts/2     0:00 grep Srv634
  dba  3108 17851  0  Jul  7  ?         2:53 server63 /var/tmp/xsauthn /var/tmp/xsauthz Srv634P 27 32 33
  dba  6501 17851  0  Jul 17  ?         2:20 server634 /var/tmp/xsauthn /var/tmp/xsauthz Srv634 27 32 33 3

ps -ef | grep "Srv" | mailx -s "Server Running"  xyz@abc.com

Currently, it send the list of server running in the server.

Along with that right now i need to amend description of server63 & server634.
Code:
Server 63 -> Used for User acessing.
Server 634 -> Used for Database acessing.

If I am using the below syntax the server which are currently running are not mentioned in the email.

Code:
 ps -ef | grep "server" | mailx -s "servers currently which are running" xyz@abc.com <<EOF
Server 62 -> Used for User acessing.
Server 65 -> Used for Database acessing.
EOF

Output Expected as :
Code:
 dba  3108 17851  0  Jul  7  ?         2:53 server63 /var/tmp/xsauthn /var/tmp/xsauthz Srv634P 27 32 33
  dba  6501 17851  0  Jul 17  ?         2:20 server634 /var/tmp/xsauthn /var/tmp/xsauthz Srv634 27 32 33 3

Server 62 -> Used for User acessing.
Server 65 -> Used for Database acessing.

Hello Arun888,

Could you please try following and let us know if this helps you(Not tested it though).
Code:
 ps -ef | awk -vs1="\"" '/server63/ || /server634/ {A++} END{if(A==2){print "mailx -s " s1 " servers currently which are running " s1 " xyz@abc.com <<EOF" ORS "Server 62 -> Used for User acessing. ORS Server 65 -> Used for Database acessing." ORS "EOF"}'

Above will only look for processes which has contain server63 and server634 in it. If happy with the above results then you can put final command as follows too.
Code:
 ps -ef | awk -vs1="\"" '/server63/ || /server634/ {A++} END{if(A==2){print "mailx -s " s1 " servers currently which are running " s1 " xyz@abc.com <<EOF" ORS "Server 62 -> Used for User acessing. ORS Server 65 -> Used for Database acessing." ORS "EOF"}' | sh

You can take it as a startup and then try to modify the solution according to your need too, hope this helps.

Thanks,
R. Singh

hi ravinder,

Thanks for your syntax. I could see
Code:
 {

is missing in your syntax. I have added in the below synatax. Its executed without any error message but still the output is not delivered.

Code:
mailx -s " s1 " servers currently which are running " s1 " xyz@abc.com <<EOF" ORS "Server 62 -> Used for User acessing. ORS Server 65 -> Used for Database acessing." ORS "EOF"}}' | sh
