UNIX for Advanced & Expert Users

Sorry guys,there was no filesystem as export in my unix box.
I have changed the script and it executed all right.
But the problem now is that I didn't recieve any mail after the execution of the program.
The message which i echoed got displayed on my screen but I didn't get any mail.

Anyone here have any idea about what might be the reason for the same.

Anything wrong with my code or any permissions required??

As i am new to this mail stuff.

Plese guide me further.

You can't send a mail with no message like this. Put an echo | in front of it or echo some senseful message text via the pipe into mail.

Example:

Code:

echo | mailx -s "URGENT: Low disk space for /home/t2/ ()" -r abc@sd.com

or

Code:

echo "the subject says it all!"| mailx -s "URGENT: Low disk space for /home/t2/ ()" -r abc@sd.com

You should also enclose the subject wit double quotes - not sure if you did in your original script but I forgot them here and added them.

Check your junk emails. Sometimes the mails from the servers are delivered in the junk folder.

Hi Zaxxon ,

I think we have now hit the bulls eye..
Will let you know when I am finished with it.
Really appreciate your help in this regard..Thanks a lot....

Also, I looked at the code I posted, I had changed your "mailx ...." line into "echo mailx ...." so that particular version is just going to show you the output, not actually do anything. Taking the "echo" out will make it actually do something.

Hi All,

Thanks for your help.

I am able to send mail alright ,but the problem is apart from the specified email id say abc@sd.com the mail is alos shot to root@sd.com,/@sd.com,/home@sd.com.
I don't want to send the email to any other person apart from the mail id specified in the script.

Can anyone here guide me for the same?

Thanks...

send email should not be the -r option.

-r A means A send out email.

if need send email to you ,just

echo sth| mailx youraddress@host.com
