1. Create perl script to scan log file from the given time it was last run
2. If error detected, use MIME::Lite to send email
3. Create cron job to run this perl script once a day.

Good luck,

I have run the following command and I am getting the correct output means getting an mail on my email-id with subject “hi”

mailx -s hi abc.xyz@companm .com



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------




If I want to use the same command in shellscript its not generating the mail

Ex:-

If mail.sh contains:

#! /bin/bash

mailx -s hi abc.xyz@companm .com

can you please tell me in detail how to use mailx command in shellscript, I am new to this ?

mailx is a lunix utility program, so once again mate, this is not a perl issue.

Please just do the research on your own with google's help, or find a more appropriate forum for your questions.
