Not able to send email as CC to a ID using Mailx command in HP UX

Hey Guys,

I have been trying to send a email as ccto a email ID .However it seems the -c option is not working in HP UX system.

It is shooting an error as "mailx: illegal option -- c"

My script isin the below manner:

mailx -c EMAIL_IDS_CC# -s 'BDC reminder' -r sender@email.com reciever@email.com <'/usr/uc4/tmp/PENDINGSD.txt'


I even tried shuffling the poisition but to of no use..

mailx -s 'BDC reminder' -r sender@email.com -c EMAIL_IDS_CC# reciever@email.com <'/usr/uc4/tmp/PENDINGSD.txt'


Please assist...

It quite plainly tells you that the -c option does not exist.

On HP-UX, you might be able to find a different version of mailx by enabling the UCB and/or XPG4 subsystems. I can't tell whether those would have a -c option either, though.

If you have śendmail (not necessarily Sendmail, just a command implementing the Sendmail API -- I believe at least both Exim and Postfix offer a /usr/lib/sendmail or /usr/sbin/sendmail command) you can pipe directly to that.

Code:
cat <<HERE /usr/uc4/tmp/PENDINGSD.txt | sendmail -oi -t
Subject: BDC reminder
From: sender@email.com
To: receiver@email.com
Cc: EMAIL_IDS_CC#

HERE
EMAIL_IDS_CC# is not a valid email address but I imagine you are using it as a placeholder for something more useful.

With my luck, your copy of cat is not prepared to read both a here document and a file, but there are workarounds for that as well, of course.
