Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers Mail subject output of script Post 11132 by ghoti on Thursday 29th of November 2001 10:33:41 AM

I don't know if this is of any help, but I had the same problem with getting 'mail' to run from within a script, and I had to resort to using sendmail.

below is an example of how I used it.
Code:
#!/bin/bash
TO="me@xxx.com"
CC=""
FROM="someone_else@xxx.com"
SUBJECT="This is a test"

/usr/sbin/sendmail -t <<-EOF
To: $TO
Subject: $SUBJECT
        Hello,
        Body goes here. 
        regards,
        your script

EOF
echo "Done....!="

I hope this helps a bit..

shells

shells(4)							   File Formats 							 shells(4)

NAME

       shells - shell database

SYNOPSIS

       /etc/shells

DESCRIPTION

       The shells file contains a list of the shells on the system. Applications use this file to determine whether a shell is valid. See getuser-
       shell(3C). For each shell a single line should be present, consisting of the shell's path, relative to root.

       A hash mark (#) indicates the beginning of a comment; subsequent characters up to the end of the line are not interpreted by  the  routines
       which search the file. Blank lines are also ignored.

       The following default shells are used by utilities: /bin/bash, /bin/csh, /bin/jsh, /bin/ksh, /bin/ksh93, /bin/pfcsh, /bin/pfksh, /bin/pfsh,
       /bin/sh, /bin/tcsh, /bin/zsh, /sbin/jsh, /sbin/sh, /usr/bin/bash, /usr/bin/csh, /usr/bin/jsh, /usr/bin/ksh, /usr/bin/ksh93, /usr/bin/pfcsh,
       /usr/bin/pfksh, /usr/bin/pfsh, and /usr/bin/sh, /usr/bin/tcsh, /usr/bin/zsh, and /usr/sfw/bin/zsh. /etc/shells overrides the default list.

       Invalid shells in /etc/shells could cause unexpected behavior, such as being unable to log in by way of ftp(1).
