Email sending through a shell script
Hi everyone,
I have a shell script that I use to send some emails with attachments. Based on the attachment file that is being sent, I choose the recipient.
My file_list.txt looks like this
CAJ.txt;sm@email.com
KXLD.txt;jc@email.com
I do a grep on this file to look for the file name and extract the second field and store it in another variable as below.
email_dest= grep $FILENAME file_list.txt|cut -d ";" -f 2;
When I echo this variable it gives me the correct email address.
However when I try to send the email using this variable using the syntax,
mailx -s $FILENAME $email_dest
or mailx -s $FILENAME ${email_dest}
I get the following error message-
The flags you gave are used only when sending mail.
Usage: mailx -eiIUdFntBNHvV~ -T FILE -u USER -h hops -r address
-s SUBJECT -f FILE users
When I replace the variable with the email address, it sends the emails correctly. I have a feeling there might be a line feed character somewhere that is causing an issue but not sure how I can get rid of it.
Can anyone provide inputs as to how I can work around this or any other solution that would be more efficient. Thanks!
