Hi all,
In my unix script, i want to use the email command to send an email to our group once my script is done processing.
I tried the following commands:

mail -s "from@address.com"

sendmail -bm "from@address.com"

mail -c "from@address.com"

But the program just waits there at the command prompt without doing anything and after waiting for 5 minutes i have to manually kill it (CTRL-C) and no mail is sent. Can i know the right method to send an email to myself first (test it) and then send it to the rest of the group.

I need the syntax of the mail command in Unix. Can I also test it from the command prompt before inserting the command in my script?

I am new to the scripts and i need this help.
I appreciate your response. Thanks a lot in advance.

Maybe you should ask in a unix forum.

Maybe you should understand when commands read from standard input, and what that means.

You are way off topic here buddy but here is a sample script.

mailfile=$RANDOM
touch $mailfile

echo "Parameter #1 is $1" >> $mailfile
echo "Parameter #2 is $2" >> $mailfile
echo "Parameter #3 is $3" >> $mailfile
echo "Parameter #4 is $4" >> $mailfile
echo "Parameter #5 is $5" >> $mailfile

cat $mailfile | mail -s "Mail Subject" mmalamud@netflexity.com

rm $mailfile

to add more email addresses google for
man mail
