Read a file with in UNIX and send multiple mails
Hi-I want to create a shell script which should read a file line by line (file having email address and transaction id of each user)and send email on email ids with the transaction id of the user respectively.

Please help - I think a while loop should help but I am very new too UNIX Shell scripting.Its quite urgent.

Thanks
