sendmail and diff

Is sendmail and diff work the same in Linux as they do in hpux?

Also is mailx just a hp-ux command or also Linux? Thanks if anybody can help me.

Re: sendmail and diff

Kyle,

Linux diff appears to be exactly the same. Mailx does not apear to be present on Linux, though. Doing a man (on Linux) on mailx brings up the "mail" man page.


Semper Fi!

Re: sendmail and diff

Hi Harris,
Why you put sendmail & diff together?
Sendmail is a 3rd part mail program, it can be run on most OS.
diff exists both in HP-UX & linux!
I know in RedHat Linux, mailx is probably same as in HP-UX. I think other linux will be similar.

A typical tool for HP-UX is the backup tool fbackup/frecover!

Linux diff is same as that of HP-UX.
Also mailx is general unix command.It should also work in Linux. At last it depends upon which Linux you are using.I mean to say Red Hat or any other .

HPUX-
I have them together in a script. The diff to identify if the crontab has been modified. The sendmail is to send an email out to administrators when it has been changed. I believe we have Red hat 8.0 but it could be 6.2 ....
