syntax is right except it still needs an end of line character to end the command..

you cat try echo " " | mailx -s 'Hi' 'xyz@abc.com'

or mailx -s 'Hi' xyz@abc.com </dev/null

but all this requires proper mail server configuration on your server.. i mean .. user and domain should be recoganizable ..

Try it ..
