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..

wnn

wwsetup(8)						      System Manager's Manual							wwsetup(8)

NAME

       wwsetup, wnn - Sets up the 8-bit option for sendmail and the Wnn character-cell input method for Japanese

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/sbin/wwsetup

DESCRIPTION

       The  wwsetup  script performs one or both of the following tasks: Enables or disables 8-bit transmission code, which is an option supported
       by sendmail software

	      By default, sendmail uses the 7-bit SMTP mail transmission protocol that is the standard for sending mail  over  a  TCP/IP  network.
	      Note  that  enabling the 8-bit option is not generally recommended because it violates the SMTP mail transmission protocol.  Config-
	      ures the Wnn software that supports a character-cell input method that is widely used in Japan

	      If the Tru64 UNIX IOSJPWNNnnn subset is installed, the wwsetup script asks if you want to create the following links if they do  not
	      already exist on the system:

	      /usr/local/bin/Wnn4 --> /usr/i18n/bin/Wnn4 /usr/local/bin/wnn --> /usr/i18n/lib/wnn

	      The script also prompts you to enter the password for Wnn dictionaries if they do not already exist on the system.

	      Both the links and the dictionary password must be in place before Wnn software can be used.

SEE ALSO

       Commands: sendmail(8), jserver(1wnn)

       Note  that the jserver(1wnn) reference page is available only in Japanese and is included in the subset that contains Japanese translations
       of reference pages.

       Others: i18n_intro(5), Japanese(5), l10n_intro(5)
