Mail sending issue
I have a script to run root commands on my server namely (alpha), If this commands run successfully I need to mail to myuser@domain.com
I need the email to be from alpha@domain.com not from root@alpha.com, Is there a way to do this while I'm running the script as a root

Code:
 
 
# cat myscript
 
if ( root command ) == 0
mail -s "Report" myuser@domain.com </tmp/msg

Thanks, Sara

ximtoppm

ximtoppm(1)						      General Commands Manual						       ximtoppm(1)

NAME

       ximtoppm - convert an Xim file into a portable pixmap

SYNOPSIS

       ximtoppm [--alphaout={alpha-filename,-}] [ximfile]

DESCRIPTION

       Reads an Xim file as input.  Produces a portable pixmap as output.  The Xim toolkit is included in the contrib tree of the X.V11R4 release.

OPTIONS

       --alphaout=alpha-filename
	      ximtoppm	creates  a PGM (portable graymap) file containing the alpha channel values in the input image.	If the input image doesn't
	      contain an alpha channel, the alpha-filename file contains all zero (transparent) alpha values.  If you  don't  specify  --alphaout,
	      ximtoppm does not generate an alpha file, and if the input image has an alpha channel, ximtoppm simply discards it.

	      If you specify - as the filename, ximtoppm writes the alpha output to Standard Output and discards the image.

	      Actually,  an  Xim  image  can contain an arbitrary fourth channel -- it need not be an Alpha channel.  ximtoppm extracts any fourth
	      channel it finds as described above; it doesn't matter if it is an alpha channel or not.

	      See pnmcomp(1) for one way to use the alpha output file.

       All options can be abbreviated to their shortest unique prefix.
