Hi,
I would like to rephrase my question :-) I want to send out a mail to some
address every Saturday. I want this mail to go out even if I do not login on
Saturday. I figured that if I use crontab or the at program and put this in
my startup scripts (rc.local maybe), I can be assured that the mail goes out
on Saturday. But the problem was that the mail goes out as a mail from root.
How can I overcome this problem? Can I overwrite the from address in the
command line while using the "mail" program.
This one did not work: " mail -f [EMAIL PROTECTED] -s "Test"
[EMAIL PROTECTED] < mail_body.txt "
Regards,
Sam

By "mail program" I assume Sam means
$ mail
mail -f <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> will do very well.
