Hi Nejad

develop a shell script about system information to mail you.
But first thing you must sendmail configuration in HP-UX server.

About DB information you can make a procedure in your database which will also mail you.

Simple format

#mail -s "Subject:...." abe@xyz.com
you can use -t option to send mail to Unix account only.

Embed this format into your script to automate the process.

Ahsan may put some light on script you can use. Check man page for mail for more details.

Did you configure your sendmail to send mail to exchange server?

FYI,

Internet express for HPUX is shipped with many utilities like fetchmail, Hypermail etc. which are related to file transfer and mailing in hpux.

You can have a look at this toolkit on www.software.hp.com

You may find this useful.

Follow the below steps

1.configure macro DS to DSexchange_relau_name
- configure macro Dj$w. to Dj$w.
- put to /etc/hosts (don't forget the dot at the end)

2. - start end stop sendmail to take modifications in sendmail.cf active.
- configure exchage to accept relay this host.

3. Save and quit sendmail.cf
4. start the sendmail service

hi,

First of all, you should configure sendmail on your HP-UX server.

/etc/sendmail.cf

Modify line:
DS

Restart the sendmail process:
/sbin/init.d/sendmail stop
/sbin/init.d/sendmail start

Test mail:
e.g.
sendmail < /etc/hosts

Please try the above and let us know.

Kind regards
yogeeraj

can u check if sendmail is installed on the server???

swlist -l product | grep -i sendmail

Re: How can i get unix to send an email

Mousa55 — Tue, 04 Dec 2007 11:53:04 GMT

Hi
# swlist -l product | grep -i sendmail

Yogeeraj_1 — Tue, 04 Dec 2007 11:57:44 GMT

>> 1-the /etc/sendmail.cf file is not found.
man sendmail

At the end, the following configuration files will be listed:
/etc/mail/aliases
/etc/mail/aliases.db
/etc/mail/sendmail.cf
/usr/share/lib/sendmail.hf
/etc/mail/sendmail.st
/var/spool/mqueue/*
/etc/mail/sendmail.pid
/etc/mail/sendmail.cw
/etc/nsswitch.conf

If you do not get this, most probably sendmail is missing.

>> 2- what you mean with and
>

DS

The value that comes after these letters is the name of the mail server which does the relay.

Dj$w.

This specifies your domain name.

hope this helps!

kind regards

Hi Team, I need a help. Objective to achieve: Mail he...

Service Manager_2 — Tue, 13 Sep 2011 06:39:01 GMT

Hi Team,

I need a help.

Objective to achieve: Mail header should change depending upon the certain word or parameter in the mail.

1) In the current environment, HPSM and SCauto is installed in HPUX.

2) I am sending emails to my clients through sendmail utility of UNIX. Emails are being sent as a single header as of now. Example From: ABC_XYZ

Here in this case the administrator email id is ‘smadm@testmail.co’ and the alias name of the same is provided as ABC_XYZ. So, when the email is sent, it looks as:

From: ABC_XYZ

3) I want these emails to be sent as double header.

For example: It should check some specific condition or parameter(from the mail), and the mail is supposed to be sent to a different team. For Example ABC_LMN

To be more clear, it should fire email as From:ABC_XYZ(if there is an issue with certain list of CI’s in SM)

And it should fire email as From From: VDF_ENOC ( if there is an issue with other list of CI’s in SM)
