Email not being sent from shell script
Hi All,

I have prepared the below shell script but no email is being sent from the shell script.Not sure what's wrong here:
Code:
echo $SHELL
/bin/bash

Code:
. $HOME/.profile
. /home/oracle/Oracle_xyz.env

export log=/orabin/Oracle/rman_Oracle_arch.out

rman target / @/home/oracle/rman/rman_oracle_arch.sql $log

export status=$?

export DBALIST="xyz@abc.com"


if [ $status -gt 0 ] ; then
 mailx -s "RMAN Archivelog BACKUP FAILED: Oracle" $DBALIST << cat $log
else
 mailx -s "RMAN Archivelog Backup Successful: Oracle" $DBALIST << cat $log
fi

Could anyone please let me know wjhy the above script is not sending mails once RMAN backup completes successfully or not

Thanks for your time!

Regards,
a1_win

You have to configure mailx. How to do that, strongly depends on your system. So, what system are you on?
Next, try to send an email from CL:
Code:
echo testBody | mailx -s testSubject me@myaddress.com

Next, this redirection looks funky:
Code:

<< cat $log

Correct syntax would be:
Code:
cat $log | mailx -s subject $address

or better yet, without useless cat:
Code:
mailx -s subject $address < $log

try:
Code:
if [ $status -gt 0 ] ; then
 cat $log | mailx -s "RMAN Archivelog BACKUP FAILED: Oracle" $DBALIST 
else
 cat $log | mailx -s "RMAN Archivelog Backup Successful: Oracle" $DBALIST

Thanks all for your time!

This is resolved after removing << and making single <
