Help with mail command
Hi Friends,

While sending a mail from a shell script, is there a way i can mark some names in the To list and for some names i need then to be in the cc list.

Are there any options available for the same with the mail or mailx xommands where i can specify the names to be present in To : list or cc: list.

Thanks in advance

You can try with send mail utility...here is a script

SUBJ="Send mail from Unix with file attachments"
TO=urmail.com
CC=otherrec.com,onemore.com
(
cat << !
To : ${TO}
Subject : ${SUBJ}
Cc : ${CC}
!

cat << !
HOPE THIS WORKS
you got the mail from sendmail utility
!

uuencode watch_script1.txt watch_script1.txt
!

) | sendmail -v ${TO} ${CC}

I've asked whether sendmail will add MIME-headers or they must be added manually??

Hi Hitori,

I tried using
mail -s "This is the subject" -c cc-abc.com to-def@gillette.com < $HOME/mail_contnts.txt

it is giving me invalid options error.
