chironBASH: uname -a
SunOS chiron 5.8 Generic_108528-19 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-5_10
chironBASH: /usr/bin/mailx -s 'this is the subject'
The above sent me an empty email message (/dev/null) but you can also
just send an file.
You must pay attention to what the file contains because a line starting
with '~' is an
escape char line -- see the man page which I can send you if need be.
Also, it is not so easy to send emails that contain binary data and/or
graphics.
It can be done, you'll have to search newgroups on google.com.

1. Sending email from a shell script using sendmail or mail
I want to send a simple email from a unix
shell script. The message must include
a subject. I have done this...
The above does work, I get a body,
but I dont get a subject line. It's blank.
I have also done this..
This does put 'this is a subject' on the Subject: line
but no body. I discovered this out by total luck.
I figure I must be on to something here.
I would like to have a subject and a body.
Can any refer me to a tutorial on the web about formating text files
to be piped to sendmail or mail for that matter.
Does anyone have other simpler ideas?
I have read the man pages on sendmail and rfc 821 but they
dont seem help on this area.
Thanks..
