Sending a mail after script exec

[Oliver Schmitz]

Dear all,

I want to send myself (on a remote maschine) a mail which contains the logfile which a script written by me produces. How can I do it? I played around with mail and mailx but I can not understand how to proceed.

Thanks for help.

Best Regards, Oliver

Oliver,


#!/bin/sh
LOGFILE=/tmp/mylog.$$
echo "done with this script" >> $LOGFILE
cat $LOGIFLE | mailx -m -s "Output of LOGFILE from `hostname` at `date`" root, xyz@my.domain.com
rm $LOGFILE
exit


Regards
Bernhard

will redirect do this?

mailx me@.com < scriptlog

Hi Oliver:

One way:

# mailx -s "LogFile" root@server.xyz.com < /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log

Regards!

Hi Oliver,
From one of our scripts ... (you'll have to fill in the variables ;-)

( echo "$errorswarm ($swarmbackup)\n\n\n"; cat $ERRORCODES; echo " ";cat $LOGFILETEMP ) |
mailx -s "$errorswarm ($swarmbackup)" $MAILERRORS

Hi Oliver,

Here's an example

cat logile | mailx -s "Your Subject Here" username@company.com

HTH,
Jeff

Hello Oliver,

This should do it for you.

./your_script > /tmp/logfile; mailx -s "script_log" name@domain.net < /tmp/logfile

Or you could just add the mailx command to the end of your script.

Tom
