Do you want to send a mail to a user using the sendmail command? Use:

sendmail user@domain.com < /path/to/file/body

You can also use:

mailx -s "Subject" < /path/to/file/body

Hi,

to complete Ivan's solution, provide the user(s) the mail is sent as additional arguments:
mailx -s "Subject" user1@dom1 user2@dom2 ... < /path/to/file/body

Shalom,

Take a look at this:

http://www.hpux.ws/mailfile2

It has some moderate to advanced sendmail scripting in it.

Hi

some example :

simple text :

(
echo "To: joel "
echo "From: system $(hostname) "
echo
echo "Systeme $(hostname) $(date)"
echo "Update time: The time has been updated"
) 2>&1 | /usr/lib/sendmail -t

text + two attached files :

{
echo "To: loic@host.domain "
echo "From: system $(hostname) "
echo "Cc: joel@host.domain "
echo "Subject: compte rendu de l'analyse des sauvegarde"
echo 'MIME-Version: 1.0'
echo 'Content-type: multipart/mixed; boundary="xxxxyyyzzqzzyyyxxxx"'

#text
echo '--xxxxyyyzzqzzyyyxxxx'
echo ''
echo "Systeme $(hostname) $(date)"
echo "Surveillance de la sauvegarde des PC utilisateurs"
echo "Voir les fichiers joints"

#first attached file
echo '--xxxxyyyzzqzzyyyxxxx'
echo 'Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="'$(basename $tmpfilename)'"'
echo ''
cat "$tmpfilename"

#second attached file
echo '--xxxxyyyzzqzzyyyxxxx'
echo 'Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="'$(basename $fichier_csv)'"'
echo ''
cat "$fichier_csv"
echo '--xxxxyyyzzqzzyyyxxxx--'
} | /usr/sbin/sendmail -t
