Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Creating a multi-recipient email script Post 46992 by TheSunTheSea on Saturday 31st of January 2004 01:02:52 AM

Here's an update. This is what I've written so far and I'm getting a whole bunch of errors:

Code:
#!/bin/sh
#usage mailscript msg_file  list_file  "subject"

MAILTEXT=$1
INFILE=$2
SUBJECT=$3

exec 0<${INFILE}
while read EMAIL NICKNAME
do

PASS=`/usr/linux/bin/mkpasswd`
EXDATE=`/usr/linux/date --date 'next year' +%F`

 sed -e "s/{NICKNAME}/$NICKNAME/g" -e "s/{EMAIL}/$EMAIL/g" -e 
"s/{PASSWORD}/$PASS" -e "s/{EXPIRATION_DATE}/$EXDATE" $MAILTEXT | mailx -s 
"$SUBJECT" $ADD

done

exit

#End of script


Since I've only been playing around with scripts for a few days, I have no idea what I'm doing wrong. It seems right to me, but it's not working. If anyone can help me out I'd greatly appreciate it.
