Okay, sounds simple enough. Put in /usr/local/bin/XXXX and associated files in /usr/local/lib/

Code:

#!/bin/sh

LOGDIR=<path where logfiles are kept>
LOGFILE=<name of logfile>
SENDMAIL=/usr/sbin/sendmail
EMAIL_ON_SUCCEED=/usr/local/lib/email-success.txt
EMAIL_ON_FAIL=/usr/local/lib/email-fail.txt

if test -f "$LOGDIR/$LOGFILE" ; then
   cat $EMAIL_ON_SUCCEED | $SENDMAIL -t
else 
   cat $EMAIL_ON_FAIL | $SENDMAIL -t
fi

The Email files must be formatted as follows, where ???? is whatever makes sense for you:

Code:

From: ????
To: ????
Subject: The Oracle process ????

Hello, the oracle process ????

That's it, really, unless there's something I missed.

SYNOPSIS

       biff [y | n]

DESCRIPTION

       The  biff  command  informs the system whether you want to be notified when mail arrives during the current terminal session. The following
       command enables notification: biff y

       The following command disables notification: biff n

       When mail notification is enabled, the From: and Subject: header lines and up to the first five lines of the  message  are  displayed.  The
       total display is 560 characters, or seven lines terminated by newline characters, whichever occurs first.

       The biff y command is often included in the $HOME/.login or $HOME/.profile file to be executed each time you log in.

       The biff command operates asynchronously. For synchronous notification, use the MAIL variable of sh or ksh, or the mail variable of csh.
