Hello All,

I need to send an output of top command from my hp-ux box to a mail id i.e. abc@abc.com

Could you please suggest me the configuration steps of this?

Thanks for the support always given by you and waiting for the response.

Thanks & Regards,

Shalom,

The standard way of getting this done is to use your corporate sendmail relay server.

vi /etc/mail/sendmail.cf (It may be in other locations.)

Search for DS

DSmailrelay

replace mailrelay with the hostname of your internal mail relay server, or better yet its IP address to avoid DNS delays.

The relay server may require explicit configuration to relay the mail from this server.

/sbin/init.d/sendmail stop
/sbin/init.d/sendmail start
