Re: [PLUG] Interest in high availability clustering talk?

Reid,

Sounds great!

Does March work for you?

[PLUG] mailx: use of -S option

2024-01-30 Thread Rich Shepard

The mailx man page describes the -S option:

-S variable[=value]
Sets  the  internal option variable and, in case of a string option,
assigns value to it.

I've not found an example of its use.

I have a working mailx script:
#!/bin/sh

for ADR in $(cat mailing-addr.list)
do
  cat msg | mailx -s "Subject here $ADR
done

Is there a way to use -S to add the first name salutation associated with
each email address in mailing-addr.list by putting that list of names in
another file?

If not, is there a way I would expand the shell script to add that
salutation to each recipient? For example, an associated for loop? (I'll
check my bash scripting book this evening.)

TIA,

Rich
