doubt in mailx
Does not supplying a file to mailx cause it to run long? Cmd is like this:
mailx -s "subject" recipient.

Would the foll. cmd run fast:
echo "content" | mailx -s "subject" recipient

The recipient is a group id. Unix version:HP-UX B.11.11.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.

mailx -s "subject" recipient is not hanging.

It is expecting file name. If filename is not given, it is expecting the input from STDIN.

Enter some data followed by CTRL+D and see whether it is quick or not.

Thanks Bhargav. Our script was running long during testing. And it was this line which caused it. Thanks again.
