Looks like you don't have mailx installed. If you have root access you could try installing it with:

Code:
# yum install mailx

Assuming you typed exactly what you posted this error comes from your server looking for a program called "mailx -s" rather than "mailx". You need to lose the leading and trailing quotes and also provide some input to "mailx" for the mail body even if it is a null string. For example:

Code:
echo "" | mailx -s "process not running" userid@domain.com
