Shell Programming and Scripting

Hi,

{SunOS}

I have this mailx -s command in my script and when the script is run,it throws me this message

The flags you gave are used only when sending mail.
Usage:mailx -eiIUdFntBNHvV!~ -T FILE -u USER -h hops -r address -s SUBJECT -f FILE users.

Can you help me how i can send an email at the end of the execution of the script.

Thanks,
Kumar

Can you please paste the script ?

#!/bin/ksh

cd tmp/sa/all_files
dt=$(date "+%b-%d-2007")
for i in *
do
mv $i ${i%.*}".${dt}"
done

cd /tmp/sa/all_files
ls ampddw.* > /tmp/sa/origlist.txt

cd /space/dwland/prodland
ls ampddw* > /tmp/sa/dailylist.txt

comm -23 /tmp/sa/origlist.txt /tmp/sa/dailylist.txt > /tmp/saravana/diff.txt
cat /tmp/sa/diff.txt | wc -l > /tmp/sa/file_check_cnt

if [ /tmp/sa/file_check_cnt > 0 ] ;then
mailx -s "Difference of files" -ss@cs.com < /tmp/sa/diff.txt
else
mailx -s "All files have arrived" -ss@ics.com < /tmp/sa/dailylist.txt
fi

You cannot have "-s" in the mail, it will treat it like flag for subject.
If I execute what you have in the script from command line, I receive this :

There is syntax error in mailx command. use like this.


mailx -s "Subject of Mail " -c " CC List if you want to CC" xyz@xyz.com < "Body of the mail from file (or) out put of some command "

I have this script which is set to email me when a event occurs.I dont get any errors when i execute this script.But i dont any email neither.Is there something else i got to do...like any access privileges or path setting...

Thanks for your help,
Kumar

now you've correct script. you need to check smtp for mail sending/receving from that box. you may just check mails simply by sending mail from prompt. if you recive then we can look @ script otherwise need to work in that area..
good luck & post if any errors.

Testing mail :

mailx -s "Difference of files" ss@cs.com < press enter >
Enter some text
