sending a mail to a mail client
Hi everyone!

I'm trying to create a database monitoring script that reads an alert file and sends an error message if it can 'grep' a particular string.

Is there a way to send this message to a mail client using SMTP?

Even better, is there any place on this site that has these kinds of scripts?

I hope i'm not repeating questions that have already been answered...

Here is the script i'm creating. It's very simple, cron is executing it every minute and simnce i can't have a window always open due to timeout, i'd like to have the results mailed.

This is bash, by the way, under Solaris 5.8

tail /opt/oracle/admin/prodasap/bdump/alert_prodasap.log | grep ORA > /export/home/oracle/scripts/prodasap.log

if [ -s /export/home/oracle/scripts/prodasap.log ]
then
echo "Oracle message detected in alert log file" > /export/home/oracle/scripts/prodasap.log.bak
fi
