Regards
 

Re: mail using perl

I AM VERY MUCH EAGER TO KNOW HOW WE CAN DO THIS?
I HOPE WE SHOULD USE SOME FILE MANIPULATION
TECHNIQUES..
 

Re: mail using perl

did u you use mail -- the shell command...
or use Mail::Sendmail module in perl.....
 

mail using perl

this is definately off-topic here but check the mail or mailx command on your shell, it is quite simple to use and you can use it inside synthesis scripts to notify you when a task is finished
 

Re: mail using perl

I hope this script may help u.
Pl be sure to configure the sendmail to send mail to any mail ID.


#! /usr/bin/ksh
MTA=/usr/lib/sendmail
VERSION=1.0

{
echo "From: jdoe <John Doe>"
echo "To: tom.jones@whatever.com <tom jones>"
echo "Subject: test 2"
echo "X-Mailer: htmlmail" $VERSION
echo "Mime-Version: 1.0"
echo "Content-Type: text/html; charset=US-ASCII"
echo
echo "<center> <h1> Test Center Heading </h1> </center>"
echo "

This is some text. And so is this. </p>"

} | eval $MTA "tom.jones@whatever.com"

exit 0
 

Re: mail using perl

some example you can find in the bbs!
 

Re: mail using perl

Try the following section of code (perl script):

open (MAILFD, "| /usr/lib/sendmail -it") || die "Cannot run sendmail... $!";
print MAILFD "From: <your mail id>\n";
print MAILFD "To: <recipient id>\n";
print MAILFD "Subject: <subject>\n";
print MAILFD "<message body>";
close (MAILFD);

If this doesn't work check the path for sendmail by typing "which sendmail".
Also check whether your sendmail is configured properly.
There is a configuration file sendmail.cf in /etc/mail/
 

Re: mail using perl

Hi,

pls check this :
mail -v -s "Subject" <email-ID of recipient> < <Body of the message >

Thanks..

HAK..
