Shell Programming and Scripting

I want to use CC(Carbon Copy) in mail list using HP-UX

I am using the command :

Code:

echo "hello" |mailx -m -s"subject" -c "CC_LIST" "TO_LIST"

but I am getting an error -c illegal option...I tried with the solution from forums but no luck...

Try...

Code:

( echo '~c ' "CC_LIST"
  echo "hello" )|mailx -m -s"subject"  "TO_LIST"

Thanks Ygor,
It is working fine however I am using :

Code:

uuencode file_1 file_2 >attachment.txt
cat mail_body attachment.txt cc_list > combined.txt
mailx -m -s "subject" -r abc@cd.com my_mail_id@abc.com < combined.txt

in cc_list i put

Code:

 '~c ' cd_addr@abc.com

however no luck

From "man mailx". Your second version may misunderstand what the "-r" switch is for.


Back to the first script.

I have yet to get mailx to send to multiple recipients without sending multiple emails. The default sendmail configuration cleverly adjusts the CC list to avoid mentioning the same email address twice.

Assuming sendmail is the default configuration.

File cc_list should contain no quote characters and a list of CC recipients one per line.
The mail address must be exactly the same in the CC list as the address we send to in mailx (case significant).

Code:

~c tom@abc.com
~c dick@abc.com
~c harry@abc.com

Code:

# The script sends one mail per recipient mentioning the CC recipients.
for recipient in tom@abc.com dick@abc.com harry@abc.com
do
    (cat cc_list; cat mail_body; ux2dos file_1 | uuencode attachment.txt)|mailx -m -s "subject" ${recipient}
done

Thanks Methyl,

Is there any way out...I want to send mail (HP UX mails)having the fdollowing options:
-s Subject
-r sender
~c cc list
uuencode
body

There is no rational reason to use the "-r" option in this context. It is not a parameter for the email addresses of a list of recipients. Hope this is is clear.

yes I got it....
Is there any other alternative in HPUX...
I want to send mail with:

1) to list
2) cc list
3) sender address
4) mail body
5) subject
6) attachment
