1. Redirect the script to send his output to a mail or include in script results to be collected in file and this file to be send via email.
2. Use cronjob to run the script. See man crontab.

ivan

Hi Kacou:

#1: capture the return status of whatever you are running:

...
RSLT=$?
mailx -s "Result of process X=${RSLT}" root < /dev/null
...

#2: Setup your script (which includes the above) as a crontask. See the manpages for 'crontab'.

Regards!

Hi (again):

> what is the command for the first option (redirect)? help me please

If you need to ask that, you need to begin with some basic shell programming. This might be helpful:

Shalom,

This script which you MUST modify before using will send any report you want as an attachment.

It can be modified to do many things.

command to send mail(should be part of script)

cat /tmp/scripts/report |mailx -s "Daily_Report_`hostname`" abcdsrrr@company.com >/dev/null 2>&1

schedule script in cron to send mail at 8 0 clock

0 8 * * * /root/scripts/dailycheck/DailyReport.sh >/dev/null 2>&1

Why not combine the two options?

0 8 * * * /root/scripts/dailycheck/DailyReport.sh 2>&1 | mailx -s "Daily report" me@mydomain.com

Will run the script at 8:00 every morning and e-mail you the results. This way you don't necessarily need to worry with making sure all command output is sent to a log file, and then e-mail the logfile to yourself.
