UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

I have a script, myscript.sh that I need the output to be sent by email to bernadette@email.com bill@email.com and will@email.com . How do I go about making this happen?

I am using the Macintosh Operating system with Entourage 2008 as my email client, but I would fine just doing this in the true Unix fashion. sendmail? I also need to have this run every Monday, but the schedule part I can figure out, however if someone wants to go the extra mile, I am happy to see their solution. Thanks so much!

Im using this on unix and linux, but it may work on Mac OS.

I have a script called: mailme.sh:

Code:

ATTFILE=$1
ATTNAME=$1
MAILTO="bernadette@email.com, bill@email.com, will@email.com"
MAILFROM=whoever@email.com

( cat <<HERE; uuencode "${ATTFILE}" "${ATTNAME}" ) | sendmail -oi -t
From: ${MAILFROM}
To: ${MAILTO}
Subject: gles9016 attached $ATTNAME

HERE

I would do the following:

1) Send the output of "myscripts.sh" to /tmp/myscript.txt
2) call: mailme.sh /tmp/myscript.txt

This ATTACHES the /tmp/myscript.txt to the email.

You could also use mailx:

Echo the output from myscript.sh to a text file then execute mailx against that file like so:

Code:

mailx -s "subjectline" bernadette@email.com bill@email.com will@email.com < /temp/outputfromscript.txt

This will send an email with the subjectline and the contents of the outputfromscript.txt as the body to the listed people. You may have to put commas between the intended recipients...I'm not sure.

Awesome mcthick!

ty Glad it helped.
