Hi Chubler,

Look the error it shows when you run the scritp:

Code:
user@server: /var/tmp # emailnotify.ksh
emailnotify.ksh[11]: test: 0403-004 Specify a parameter with this command.
Null message body; hope that's ok

If /var/tmp/logfile is empty it always send a blank mail to root. Any idea why?

FYI: I'm running the code on ksh

Really appreciate your help.
Thanks.

well, the issue was logfile.notify needs to have data. I did:

Code:
echo 1 >> /var/log/logfile.notify

Now the script is working... thanks a lot!!!

Regards
Israel.
