mail command problem 1

[Marcel1958]

I need to monitor the disk space so i wrote this little script to send an email when the free space is to low. Problem is that when the first problem is found the script stops. When i do only the echo command it works ok.

user0="root"
user1="mg.bogaard@xxx.nl"
user2="r.van_der.vliet@xxx.nl"
user3="boogjes@xxx.com"

HOSTNAME=`hostname`

df -k | tr -d "%" |
while read filesystem blocks free gebruik A1 iused mounted
do

if [ "$gebruik" -gt "60" ]
then
echo $mounted $gebruik
mail -s "$filesystem on $HOSTNAME is $gebruik % vol" -c "$user1" $user0
fi fi
done

Thanks rzs0502. I have seen this FAQ but mij problem is that the script stops when i use the mailx command. If i run the script without this is works ok.

the script stops when i use the mailx command
Doesn't it instead wait for the body of the message as its standard input isn't redirected ?
Furthermore, the code snippet you posted contains syntax error on the following line:
fi fi

Hope This Help, PH.

Try using this for your mailing

MESSAGE="Ek is $gebruik vol"
echo $MESSAGE | mailx -s "$SUBJECT" "$RECIPIENTS"

Works on my AIX machine but not on my Linux laptop.
Hope it helps
