Need Help w/mailx - Sun Solaris
I have this Legato application which generates a file and then it pipes it to mailx.
cat << savelog.txt | mailx -s "Saverpt `date +"%c`"
myemail@xxx.com
The "savelog.txt does get created and is owned by root and other group, but yet will not email using mailx to
myemail@xxx.com.
Mailx emails me from "root" instead of the application user and only emails the "Subject Line" and not the text file. Can someone assist why this is happening.
When I am logged in as myself (userme) and run the script from the command line I get the email fromt
userme@xxx.com and the contents of the file in the email. So what is different.

I am new to Sun.
I brought Sun Fire 280R to practice UNIX. What are the requirements for the monitor/CRT? Will it burn out old non-Sun CRTs? Does it need LCD monitor?

mailcompat(1) User Commands mailcompat(1)
NAME
mailcompat - provide SunOS compatibility for Solaris mailbox format
DESCRIPTION
mailcompat is a program to provide SunOS 4.x compatability for the Solaris mailbox format. You would typically run mailcompat to be able
to read mail on a workstation running SunOS 4.x when your mail server is running Solaris.
Enabling mailcompat creates an entry in your .forward file, if it exists. If this file does not exist, mailcompat will create it. Dis-
abling mailcompat will remove the entry from the .forward file, and if this was the only entry, will remove the entire file.
To execute mailcompat, log onto the Solaris mail server and enter mailcompat on the command line. Answer the queries provided by the pro-
gram.
USAGE
See largefile(5) for the description of the behavior of mailcompat when encountering files greater than or equal to 2 Gbyte ( 2^31 bytes).
