Shell Programming and Scripting

I have a text file with file names, id like to have this portion of my BASH script go grab the line (which in this case is the full path to my file) then cat that file so I could pipe it to a email.

1) My text file (/tmp/1.txt) is setup like this:

1301086981.V804I56a45d6bM514265.sam.company.local
1301101622.V804I56a4662cM485737.sam.company.local

2) cat /tmp/1.txt | while read i; do echo "$i" | sendmail -t me@company.com; done



Maybe im doing something wrong with my syntacs but it should read each line and (for example cat 1301086981.V804I56a45d6bM514265.sam.company.local | sendmail -t me@company.com)

All that its currently doing is sending a email for every line in the text file inserting the line into the emails body.

Then re-place the 'echo' with 'cat' if that's what you want

This code snippet do exactly what you have said , so what do you want to do exactly ? more explanation is required .

try

Code:

for i in `cat /tmp/1.txt`; do cat $i |mailx -s $i me@company.com; done
