bourne mail script problem
Hey there,
Just have a quick question. i've written a program and it needs to
send a email to confirm it's completed. now i've done the
mail -s "Subject"
test@test.com
the problem is the program, when run just waits. it doesn't execute the next command unless i press ^D. is there away for it to just send a mail without a body and go on without having to press ^D
thanks

test::email
Test::Email(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Test::Email(3pm)
NAME
Test::Email - Test Email Contents
SYNOPSIS
use Test::Email;
# is-a MIME::Entity
my $email = Test::Email->new(@lines);
# all-in-one test
$email->ok({
# optional search parameters
from => ($is or qr/$regex/),
subject => ($is or qr/$regex/),
body => ($is or qr/$regex/),
headername => ($is or qr/$regex/),
}, "passed tests");
# single-test header methods
$email->header_is($header_name, $value, "$header_name matches");
$email->header_ok($header_name, $value, "$header_name matches");
$email->header_like($header_name, qr/regex/, "$header_name matches");
# single-test body methods
$email->body_is($header_name, $value, "$header_name matches");
$email->body_ok($header_name, $value, "$header_name matches");
$email->body_like($header_name, qr/regex/, "$header_name matches");
# how many MIME parts does the messages contain?
$email->parts_ok($parts_count, "there were $parts_count parts found");
# what is the MIME type of the firs part
my @parts = $email->parts(); # see MIME::Entity
$parts[0]->mime_type_ok('test/html', 'the first part is type text/html');
DESCRIPTION
Please note that this is ALPHA CODE. As such, the interface is likely to change.
Test::Email is a subclass of MIME::Entity, with the above methods. If you want the messages fetched from a POP3 account, use Test::POP3.
Tests for equality remove trailing newlines from strings before testing. This is because some mail messages have newlines appended to them
during the mailing process, which could cause unnecessary confusion.
This module should be 100% self-explanatory. If not, then please look at Test::Simple and Test::More for clarification.
METHODS
"my $email = Test::Email->new($lines_aref);"
This is identical to "MIME::Entity->new()". See there for details.
"$email->ok($test_href, $description);"
Using this method, you can test multiple qualities of an email message with one test. This will execute the tests as expected and will
produce output just like "Test::Simple::ok" and "Test::More::ok". Keys for $test_href are either "body", or they are considered to be
the name of a header, case-insensitive.
single-test methods
The single-test methods in the synopsis above are very similar to their counterparts in Test::Simple and Test::More. Please consult
those modules for documentation.
Please note that tests for equality remove newlines from their operands before testing. This is because some email messages have
newlines appended to them during mailing.
"my $ok = $email-"parts_ok($parts_count, $description);>
Check to see how many MIME parts this email contains. Each part is also a Test::Email object.
"my $ok = $email-"mime_type_ok($expected_mime_type, $description);>
Check the MIME type of an email or an email part.
EXPORT
None.
