How to set Subject in Sendmail in Crontab
Hello All,
I am trying to send a file through email everyday from one of my Linux (x86_64) system. I've scheduled Sendmail in Crontab like this-
00 8 * * * /usr/sbin/sendmail
name@xxx.co.uk < /home/file1.out
This entry in crontab is working very fine and I am receiving file file1.out each and everyday sharp at 8 AM through email. But the subject line is blank. I am trying a lot but not being able to set the subject line.
Please let me know if you have any idea, how to set subject line in sendmail in Crontab. Subject should come like- "Row count for today: <Current Date>"
Thanks in Advance !!
