UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

Hi All,
I would like to write a script which sends an email to clients.

mailx -s "TEST" $EMAIL_RECIPIENTS < FILE ...will send an email to EMAIL_RECIPIENTS with TEST as the subject and FILE as the body.

Now I have a another CONTROL_FILE which is constant all the times (FILE in the above case varies at every run)

I want to include this CONTROL_FILE along with the FILE while sending the email (CONTROL_FILE contents first followed by FILE contents).

Ex :


FILE has :
1tets
2usa
CONTROL_FILE has:
Hello All,.
Thanks for your help.


My out put should send email to $EMAIL_RECIPIENTS with -s TEST like the following way:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hello All,.
Thanks for your help.

1tets
2usa
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Please note: I do not want to create a another file FILE3 = catting CONTROL_FILE and FILE

Please help.
Thanks,
jingi

Code:

cat file1 file2 | mailx -s "TEST1" X@Y.com
