I know that mail messages are normally terminated with a control-d. Can someone please tell me how to end a mail message when it is sent from a script file in Bering? I know it is a simple trick, but for the life of me I cant remember it.
control-d is the keyboard equivelent for "end-of-file". You can simply pipe something to (or otherwise redirect the input of) the mail command, which will correctly identify the end of file, ie:
echo "hello world" | mail -s test [EMAIL PROTECTED]
-or-
mail -s test [EMAIL PROTECTED] </my/test/message
