Hi:
I have a shell script that needs to send email via mailx. The content of
the email is just a
string containing either "Success" or "Failure". So far it seems that there are
2 ways of doing it
namely:
a) Using a temporary file
echo "Success" > "/tmp/my_mail.$$"
mailx -s "Test Result" [EMAIL PROTECTED] < /tmp_my_mail.$$
rm -f /tmp/my_mail.$$
b) using a heredoc
mailx -s "Test Result" [EMAIL PROTECTED] <<END_OF_MAIL
Success
END_OF_MAIL
Is there another way of doing it? It seems that using temporary file is an
overkill for a one
line message, and heredocs tends to clutter the indentation of the script. I
tried :
echo "Success" | mailx -s "Test Result" [EMAIL PROTECTED]
but it fails.
Any other ideas?
Regards,
Ludwig
P.S. : Sorry about the mail a while ago. I think I accidentally pressed some
keys that caused the
mail to be send before it was finished.
