Full Discussion: Using sendmail utility in K Shell script
Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Using sendmail utility in K Shell script Post 302431307 by mph on Monday 21st of June 2010 12:14:37 PM

Try something like this.


Code:
  (
    echo "To: $1"
    echo "From: $2"
    echo "Subject: $3"
    echo "$4"                    ***
  ) | /PATH-TO/sendmail -t

Replace PATH-TO with the real path.

*** you could cat a file `cat $filename` or echo another variable echo "$variable" instead of having to type it out. Any one of the args could be variables.

I.E.
mailto="user@domain.com"
from="me@mydomain.com"
subject="Cool email"
body="this is the body of the email and can go on from quite some time"

Code:
  (
    echo "To: $mailto"
    echo "From: $from"
    echo "Subject: $subject"
    echo "$body"
  )  |  /PATH-TO/sendmail -t
