Try this and see how far it gets you:

Then check your mail.

If you're sending to multiple recipients you may want to check to see if your mailer supports lists. Otherwise you'll have to write a script that opens up a file of recipients and loops over them:

onstat -d > onstat.txt
for r in `cat alertemails.txt`
do
mail -s "alert email" $r < onstat.txt
done

I think that will likely do what you want.

Good luck.

Thanks for your direction. I did check and the sendmail daemon was not running. The Systems dept guys had started the daemon and now iam able to send mail to single id.
Iam now looking at (as you specified) to sending mails to multiple recipitents.

1. If i understood right, i create a "alertemails.txt" which contains the list of emails and use this as per your script?
2. I put this in a script, execute with cron job and its done, right?

Also the cron daemon is not running and they (system guys) are looking at it. Once iam done, i shall update.

	      o DSN prefix
		- The DSN prefix is informix:.

	      o DSN
		- The DSN can be either a data source setup using odbc.ini or a complete connection string.
