sending a mail to a mail client
Hi everyone!
I'm trying to create a database monitoring script that reads an alert file and sends an error message if it can 'grep' a particular string.
Is there a way to send this message to a mail client using SMTP?
Even better, is there any place on this site that has these kinds of scripts?
I hope i'm not repeating questions that have already been answered...
Here is the script i'm creating. It's very simple, cron is executing it every minute and simnce i can't have a window always open due to timeout, i'd like to have the results mailed.
This is bash, by the way, under Solaris 5.8
tail /opt/oracle/admin/prodasap/bdump/alert_prodasap.log | grep ORA > /export/home/oracle/scripts/prodasap.log
if [ -s /export/home/oracle/scripts/prodasap.log ]
then
echo "Oracle message detected in alert log file" > /export/home/oracle/scripts/prodasap.log.bak
fi

innmail
INNMAIL(1) InterNetNews Documentation INNMAIL(1)
NAME
innmail - Simple mail-sending program
SYNOPSIS
innmail [-h] [-s subject] address [address ...]
DESCRIPTION
innmail is a Perl script intended to provide the non-interactive mail-sending functionality of mail(1) while avoiding nasty security
problems. It takes the body of a mail message on standard input and sends it to the specified addresses by invoking the value of mta in
inn.conf.
At least one address (formatted for the MTA specified in inn.conf, if it matters) is required. innmail will sanitize the addresses so that
they contain only alphanumerics and the symbols "@", ".", "-", "+", "_", and "%".
innmail was written to be suitable for the mailcmd setting in inn.conf.
OPTIONS
-h Gives usage information.
-s subject
Sets the Subject: header of the message. A warning is issued if this option is omitted.
EXAMPLES
This sends a one-line message to the local user "joe":
echo "A one-line message." | innmail -s "Simple message" joe
innmail by default is used by INN for sending nightly reports and control message reports.
BUGS
innmail fails on addresses that begin with "-", although one might hope that the news server will not need to contact any such addresses.
There are many "correct" addresses that will be silently modified by the sanitization process. A news administrator should be careful to
use particularly sane addresses if they may be passed to innmail.
HISTORY
innmail was written by James Brister <brister@vix.com> for InterNetNews. This manual page was originally written by Jeffrey M. Vinocur.
