I have read enough to know how to send mail to an address without a script except I still don't know how to get a message to actually send since the mail program requires a "ctrl-d" to end the body. I want to send an empty body since all I am interested in is the mail headers. I am almost there with this command: mail -s "ip update message" [EMAIL PROTECTED] This will produce a message with a subject of "ip update message" and add my email to the "To:" field. It does leave an empty message body and doesn't send a "ctrl-d" command to mail which is required to sending. How do I do that? praedor
