Using mail command to notify the status of script
Thanks for your quick response, mail command worked from the command line after removing the -c flag but does the script look OK bcos it still doesn't append the log files.
changed the mail command as below,
mail -s "Filesystem mounted with success" "xxx@email1 yyy@email2"</var/log/succes.err >/dev/null

Hi Experts,
I am trying to write a ksh script that it should notify in case there is no response from the other script. I mean to say that I got a.sh and b.sh
the execution of b.sh depends on a.sh, so if there is no response from a.sh,
b.sh should notify me about the same.
Thanks in Advance (4 Replies)
