send email to more users
Hi,

If I want to send an email to serveral users, what is the correct way to do it?

I know a little bit mail command. If I want to send email to John and Scott after UNIX shell scripts have completed the job. I type:

mail -s 'Job has been completed successfully' john@yahoo.com < log.txt

I also want the same email go to Scott. What to do? Type another mail command or add Scott@hotmail.com after John's email address?

Please help.

Just enclose the list of email addresses in quotes. Where it's a message to one person and copied to other(s) then you can use the -c "list" instead.

cheers

Thanks. Where do I put this list of email address? Should I type:

mail -s 'xxxxxxxx' "email1, email2, email3" -c "list" < log.txt

Please be specific.

space seperated entries and not comma seperated entries,
Code:
mailx -s "<subject>" "<addr1> <addr2>" < log.txt

Thanks for your advice. I have tried with your syntax. It didn't work. My original syntax is like this:

mail -s ' xx data loading is successful.' email@yahoo.com < loading.log exit 1

Could you show your syntax here? Thanks a lot.
