Oops. I've clicked to fast
Finally, I don't understand the role of 'var' in the mail

 

[biondo68]

i hope a script that decrease , whit

var=10
WHILE test $var -gt 0
do
let var=var -1

after this cycle , I hope to sent with a &quot;for&quot; where a listat.txt contain a list of mail address.

after 10 cycle the script end

 

[biondo68]

var=10
WHILE test $var -gt 0
do
let var=var -1
( the results of this cycle is 10.9.8.7.6 ... end )
( this permit to create a cycle compose with 10 cycle , that permit to send with a &quot;for&quot; to send e-mail )




after this cycle , I hope to sent with a &quot;for&quot; where a listat.txt contain a list of mail address.

after 10 cycle the script end
