Quite easy.
Just write a script to run Mail (the ucb version, in /usr/bin/) and have
your actual message in a text file
/usr/bin/Mail -s "SUBJECT GOES HERE $1" email addresses go here
<yourtextfile.txt
For example, this is the line I use for mailing myself something (from a
PID check script I wrote to make sure a particular process is not down)
/usr/bin/Mail -s "**SERVER IS DOWN*** $1" [EMAIL PROTECTED] <mansiondown.txt
That should all be on one line, then simply set up a cron to run that
script when you want and include a line for each email address you want to
send to.
good luck!
