Hi All, The subject of this message probably looks easier than what I'm trying to convey.
Basically I've got the need to configure a script to check the permissions of /tmp as we had a server crash recently which hosed the permissions on /tmp resulting in Oracle refusing to start-up and the DBAs are demanding some way of checking this. I've written a script which will check the permissions of /tmp at reboot and if they aren't the defaults, it generates a mail with the actual permissions listed. Now for what is probably the bleeding obvious bit. Our standard build has sendmail disabled by default so what I'd like to do it be able to tell the mail command to connect to our internal smtp server in order to deliver the message to the needed recipients. Does anyone know of a way of achieving this or have any other suggestions? My only other alternative is to enable sendmail but restrict it to only accept connections on the loopback address, however this may have implications as our security teams may have asked for sendmail to be disabled by default (I'm looking into this).
