gladly so: First, start by indenting your code. This will help you keep track of the branching. If you throw in some empty lines for better reading all the better:
Code:
v_par=8
num_minutes=10
if [[ $v_par -eq 8 ]] ; then
last_mail_date1="2017-06-05 01:47:25"
last_mail_date=$last_mail_date1
curr_date=$(date +"%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S")
diff_sec=`echo "$(($(date -d "$curr_date" '+%s') - $(date -d "$last_mail_date" '+%s')))"`
diff_min=`expr $diff_sec / 60`
if [[ $diff_min -ge $num_minutes ]]; then
mail -s "mail sent"
last_mail_date1=$(date +"%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S")
fi
fi
Second: get rid of these backticks. They are really, positively, definitely OUTDATED sicne about 25 years or so and should not be used any more! The same is true for the ridiculuos expr-statement. Modern shells have learned to do integer artithmetic, so don't use an external program for something the shell can do it itself.
Code:
v_par=8
num_minutes=10
if [[ $v_par -eq 8 ]] ; then
last_mail_date1="2017-06-05 01:47:25"
last_mail_date=$last_mail_date1
curr_date=$(date +"%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S")
diff_sec=$(( $(date -d "$curr_date" '+%s') - $(date -d "$last_mail_date" '+%s') ))
diff_min=$(( diff_sec / 60 ))
if [[ $diff_min -ge $num_minutes ]]; then
mail -s "mail sent"
last_mail_date1=$(date +"%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S")
fi
fi
But the real problem is perhaps:
1) You have no "file where the mail text is stored", at lease not in your script (which i suspect is not the read script but an arbitrary part thereof).
2) The mail-command is not sending any real mail, because the mail body is completely missing and so is the receiver.
