Question The body of the Email -- mailx
Hi,

I am using mailx command to send an email and i took the body of the email from a file,
Code:
   mailx -r gtt.org -s  "Status Report " ss@org.com < $ProcessStatisticsFile

but now i want to declare the body of the email in the command itself.
I have tried with the following command but its not working Smilie
Code:
echo "something" | mailx -r mail.allstate.com -s  "killed" ss@org.com

how i can define the body of the email with the help of command.

Please help me...

Can't see anything wrong. Do you get an error message?

There is much variation in "mailx". What Operating System and version do you have?

Can you show the actual line you typed (changing any email addresses or confidential data)?
