Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting unable to do mailx from shell script Post 33222 by rajugp1 on Friday 20th of December 2002 08:54:44 AM

Hi,

If mailx is working from the command prompt, one other reason can be that the file db_status.log may not be available.

If the input file db_status.log is not available , mailx does nothing.

Regards,
raju
