some_command
some_script

if [ -f /dir/log ]
then
      cat /dir/log | mailx -s 'logfile for script is ready' $admin 
else
     echo "script has no entries in /dir/log up to this point" >> /dir/log

#! /bin/ksh

admin=admin@some.com

myfunction(){
    some_command 
    some_script 
    ...
    some_command
    some_script
}

myfunction > /dir/log 2>&1
echo "i'm done"

if [ -f /dir/log ]
then
      cat /dir/log | mailx -s 'logfile for script is ready' $admin
      echo "i am done. report emailed to $admin" 
else
     echo "script has no entries in /dir/log up to this point"
