Dumb mail question 1

[lawsoncs]

Hi all! I know this may be stupid, but I've never used mail before. I wrote a program to schedule another program to run on any date and time. After my scheduled program completes, I would like to mail the user a message to tell the person that it is complete. How can I do this using the mail command in my script?? Thanks a BUNCH!!

#!/bin/sh
# comment before message
/usr/bin/mailx <user> -s <subject>
<text of body>
# comment after message

should work, i'm sure there are a million people to tell me wrong otherwise

Hi,

After your process gets completed u can insert this simple line in that script:-
echo &quot;Process Complete&quot;|/usr/bin/mailx -s process abc@def.com

I hope this helps.....
