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
