How to install mailx command on linux ???
Hi,
I'm planning to move all my shell scripts from Unix to Linux.
currently in unix i have used the mailx command with the options -r & -s
eg., mailx -s "Hai" -r "xyz@abc.com" < abc.txt
But, if i move the scripts to linux i do not have the option -r in the mail command.
What should I do. can i install mailx on Linux. ?
If yes.. can provide me the source.. ?
Thanks
Venkat..

SYNOPSIS
reporter-mailx [-v] -d DIR [-c CONFFILE]

in /etc/libreport/events.d/mailx_event.conf:
