Hi friends,
i have seen the following line in some unix shell script .
can some one explain me what exactly the statement is meant for ?
=========================================================
mailx -s " Master Data Transmission Report for $TODAY at $TIME " < /etc/tr/tmp/$tmplog omni_list
====================================================
thanks in advance

It sends an email with the subject " Master Data Transmission Report for $TODAY at $TIME " with the contents of the file /etc/tr/tmp/$tmplog omni_list. ($TODAY and $TIME will be replaced with the values of those two environment variables.)

It sends a mail to whom? There is no recipient specified. It should read:

 mailx -s " Master Data Transmission Report for $TODAY at $TIME " user@host.com < /etc/tr/tmp/$tmplog omni_list

Thank you Dangral and Steve.
i need to check with the person who wrote this script for finding out about the destination person who is receiving this mail.
thanks alot friends.
bye

Hi friends ,

thank you

Oh, of course. I missed the space after the file name. Good thing I don't make my living as a parser.
