Easy Question (sendmail)...

This is probly an easy question for most but I can't remember. How do you send sendmail to multiple addresses? Here's what i have in my script.

echo "The crontab has changed" | mail address@mail.com

do i use a comma or ; or what to seperate them?

Hello!

separate the list with comma ","
You can made a list of wanted users/machines
and send to the list.

Hi,
It's the same for sendmail command, a in your former mail :$
/usr/bin/sendmail toto.com,foo@mydomain.com Don't forget the coma, as second address would be considered otherwise as the sender...

The other way is to use mail's "-c" flag to send a CC.

echo blah | mail -c user@somwhere otheruser@elsewhere
