In this case you would be better off using the command sendmail e.g. ( echo "To: Suhit Kelkar <[email protected]>" echo "From: som...@yourdomain" echo "Subject: My second shell script" echo cat some_path_on_your_host/some_file ) | sendmail -fsom...@yourdomain [email protected] -- Regards Manvendra - http://www.indimail.org Sent from Chennai, TN, India -- http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
