Would like to send Command output as mail ... How ?

[TSch]

Hi folks,

I'd like to send the "Error Output" of a command as mail.
So far I've created the following line:

./command 2> mail -s "The following error has occured" root

But it's not quite working right now ...
I also tried putting everything behind 2> into the following:

" " ' ' `` ´´

But nothing worked.

Any ideas how this might be accomplished ?

Thanks in advance !

Regards
Thomas

You have to use a pipe, not a redirection.
Try
./command 2 ¦ mail -s "The following error has occured" root Henrik Morsing
