Sending script output as email
Hi
i have a script which executes daily through cron. The output of the script is appended to a log file everyday
It also emails me the output of the logfile as we have the mailx command in the script

The below is my requirement :

Normally When I get the email it sends the entire content in the log file. But I need only the script output content on the day it was executed.
To be more clear say for example if the script was executed on july 24th,25th and 26th. When i get the email on 24th it should send only the 24th log. Similarly when i get the email on 26th it should send only the 26th log.

How to do this ?

SYNOPSIS

       Send emails reminders set by users for special occasions.

DESCRIPTION

       Email-reminder allows users to define events that they want to be reminded of by email.	Possible events include birthdays, anniversaries

       user.
