How to call mail id from different file in shell script?
Hi Team,

Please can anyone tell me how to call mail ids from different file in shell script.

For Example:
=========
Code:
export MAILX=/bin/mailx

Code:
export MAIL_DBA=xxx@gmail.com,yyy@gmail.com,zzz@gmail.com

sendalertmess()
{
MESSAGE="ALARM"
echo $MESSAGE | MAILX -s "uname -n :Oracle error"
}
sendalertmess;


exit;



Instead of giving the mail ids directly. How can I get the mail ids from different file in linux shell script.

Please help me this.

Even i tried to give like this in the script as below. But it didn't work.

Code:
export MAIL_DBA=\home\abc\mailid.txt



content of the mailid.txt
Code:
xxx@gmail.com

Code:
yyy@gmail.com
zzz@gmail.com


Thanks in Advance,

Regards,
Indu

You can do it by including the file. do this after shebang line

. /dir/filename

the file "filename" should have entry as below

MAIL_DBA=xxx@gmail.com,yyy@gmail.com

Try reading from your mailid.txt line by line, adding each entry read to the MAIL_DBA variable, finally removing the leading comma:
Code:
$ while read; do MAIL_DBA=$MAIL_DBA,$REPLY ; done < mailid.txt; MAIL_DBA=${MAIL_DBA:1}; echo $MAIL_DBA
xxx@gmail.com,yyy@gmail.com,zzz@gmail.com

Or use paste command:
Code:
MAIL_DBA=$( paste -s -d"," /home/abc/mailid.txt )
