I run some computational jobs that take (sometimes) a long time -- they basically consist of a bunch of piped lines into various programs within a C-shell script. Anywho, the programs I use have the option of displaying progress (verbose) or not. I'd like to turn off the verboseness ... but would like to have some sort of notification that the job has finished (other than using 'top' to check and see if the processes are still running).

Is there a way, within a C-shell script, to send a quick mail to a specified remote address with a subject (and body, if not difficult) to alert me that the job is finished? What program(s) could I use and how might I go about doing it?

Thanks!
Doug
