Redirect script output to a file and mail the output
Hi Guys,

I want to redirect the output of 3 scripts to a file and then mail the output of those three scripts.
I used below but it is not working:

Code:
 
OFILE=/home/home1/report1
 
echo "report1 details" > $OFILE
=/home/home1/1.sh > $OFILE
echo "========================================================================================================================================" > $OFILE
echo "report2 details" > $OFILE
=/home/home1/2.sh > $OFILE
echo "========================================================================================================================================" > $OFILE
echo "report3 details" > $OFILE
/home/home1/3.sh > $OFILE
echo "========================================================================================================================================" > $OFILE
cat $OFILE | mail -s "Verification" abc@gmail.com

i am just getting the output of three scrips separately meaning individual scripts are ruuning but not getting the output in one mail as below.

Code:
 
OUTPUT should be as below:
 
report1 details
The total no of difference in previous day report and current day report is 0 records
 
 
========================================================================================================================================"
 
report2 details:
The total no of difference in previous day report and current day report is 1 records
 
 
========================================================================================================================================"
 
report3 details:
The total no of difference in previous day report and current day report is 1 records

Hello,

It will not put that data from file named
Code:
 OFILE

in your code.

As command
Code:
 mailx

is coming at last and you are not concating the data into the file you are just overwriting the data by doing
Code:
> $OFILE

to it.


Please use
Code:
 =/home/home1/1.sh >> $OFILE

to save it from overwriting and use it then.



Thanks,
R. Singh

What is this: =/home/home1/1.sh?
Try
Code:
echo "report1 details" > $OFILE 
/home/home1/1.sh >> $OFILE 
echo "========================================================================================================================================" >> $OFILE 
echo "report2 details" >> $OFILE 
/home/home1/2.sh >> $OFILE 
echo "========================================================================================================================================" >> $OFILE 
echo "report3 details" >> $OFILE 
/home/home1/3.sh >> $OFILE 
echo "========================================================================================================================================" >> $OFILE 
cat $OFILE | mail -s "Verification" abc@gmail.com

Or use a grouping command and avoid creating a temporary file:
Code:
{
echo "report1 details"
/home/home1/1.sh
echo "========================================================================================================================================"
echo "report2 details"
/home/home1/2.sh
echo "========================================================================================================================================"
echo "report3 details"
/home/home1/3.sh
echo "========================================================================================================================================"
} | mail -s "Verification" abc@gmail.com

The problem is /home/home1/2.sh >> $OFILE is not working.
Script 2.sh output should be redirected to $OFILE which is not happening.
When i am running the command
Code:
./2.sh>>filename

it is not working.
Inside 2.sh script I am redirecting the output of this script to a filename1 and then mailing the output.

That statement of yours is a bit difficult to believe. Why should a plain redirection stop working? What's your shell/system?
