Need help to get information in email.
Hi,

I am using below command to generate log on email, but tail-2 output command is not generating in email.


Code:
echo "tail -2 /home/sss/stg.log"| mailx -s "load completed" xyz.gmail.com

Current output:
Code:
tail -2 /home/sss/stg.log

Need output
last twolines from stg.log file.

My actual requirement is need to populate last two lines on the email which contains the load information.

Thanks for your help.

Mod Comment Please use CODE tags for sample code, input, and output. And do not use COLOR and FONT tags on all of your text.

Try:
Code:
tail -2 /home/sss/stg.log | mailx -s "load completed" xyz.gmail.com

Note, however, I would expect that you want something like xyz@gmail.com instead of xyz.gmail.com
