This line in itself is not a complete script it's just a small snippet which is responsible of sending an email
It's totally up to you to name it whatever you want
for an example myscript.sh
Make it executable
Code:
$chmod u+x myscript.sh

You need to configure exim.

On a Debian machine is this way: dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config
