Output to log and the sent using sendmail

[Chris Campbell 77]

I am a newbie to HPUX and have a simple scripting question.

I have a below crons which outputs to a log file.

Question 1: Is this correct syntax to output to a file?
00 00 * * 1-5 /globus/bnk/bnk.run/scr/senddrbkup.sh 2>&1 1>/usr/local/tools/mia/log/GlobusZCopy.log

Question, how would I script this to send to an email using sendmail?

Thanks for any kind of help.

The correct order is most likely:
============================================================
/globus/bnk/bnk.run/scr/senddrbkup.sh > /usr/local/tools/mia/log/GlobusZCopy.log 2>&1

Send stdout to that file, then send stderr to that same file.

>how would I script this to send to an email using sendmail?

mailx -s "some subject" somebody@xxx.com < /usr/local/tools/mia/log/GlobusZCopy.log

Its OK and if you don want the error in log files the
/globus/bnk/bnk.run/scr/senddrbkup.sh > logfile 2>&1

to send mail, with log file output

mailx -s subject id < logfile

What would be the syntax if we were using sendmail instead of mailx.
Thanks

you can use as

# sendmail "email address" < "file path"

Any particular reason why you want to use sendmail directly?
sendmail(1M) says: sendmail is not intended as a user interface routine.

Dennis,
Sorry for such a LATE response. My boss insists in using sendmail. He swears by it. Then he questions me why he is getting system alerts 2 days later =)

cat file | mailx -s "SUBJECT" you@domain.com
sendmail you@domain.com < file
