Cool. Thanks. BTW, my sendmail complained about the -U (sendmail-8.12.5-7, RH 8.0), I removed it and it worked. Now to figger out how to include the contents of an environment variable in the script and make it so the To: doesn't get displayed as "undisclosed-recipients"... Hopefully, 'man sendmail' will help ;-)On Mon, 20 Jan 2003 11:09:52 -0500 Tim Wunder <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:Hi,
I have a rudimentary script that checks out and compiles the latest GNUCash from CVS. I'd like to have it send me an e-mail when it completes telling me that the new GnuCash is ready for installation, or that the update failed.
So, essentially, my question is: How do I send a mail message from the command line without requiring additional user input?
A quick search on google hasn't yielded much help for me (probly not using the right search terms).
How about this? cat << *EOF* | sendmail -N failure -n -R hdrs -U -fme@here -- you@there Subject: GNUCash update It is finished *EOF* The *EOF* are literal strings and can be anything. You can also cat a file or echo text. Whatever makes you happy. The 'secret' is in the options to sendmail. This example is sent from me@here to 'you@there'. There can be more. It works for all users who can send mail. You may need to replace 'sendmail' with '/usr/sbin/sendmail' or wherever sendmail is.
Thanks again,
Tim
