I created a very simple email script that gathers some UNIX command output, and then places it into a file. This file I want to then email back out with the input in the body.
#Execute Test Mail Script system ('mail briantest@server.com <test'); $SIG{INT} = sub { die "Just Send it!"}; $SIG{TERM} = sub { die "Do it now!"}; sleep(1); #Unix Commands my $PrStat = qx(prstat 1 1 | grep Total); my $Mail = qx(tail -15 /var/log/syslog | grep briantest); my $Iface = qx(ifconfig -a); #Text Capture File chomp($d=`date +%Y%m%d`); open F,">Report_$d.txt"; print F "Here is the Results from the Script\n\n"; print F "-------------------------------------\n\n"; print F $PrStat; print F "-------------------------------------\n\n"; print F $Mail; print F "-------------------------------------\n\n"; print F $Iface; print "This script has finished!\n\n"; print "Generating Email!\n\n"; #system ('mail test@server.com < Report_$d.txt);
I get the initial send, but once the file has been generated, I am try send it back out and the script completes without error, but no email. Please help.
