Here's the same code from above, modified to work with /var/qmail/bin/mailsubj, which takes input from stdin and allows you to specify a subject and a recipient. cat $TMPDIR/checkreport.$$ | $MAIL "$HOSTNAME $DATE ACTIVE SYSTEM ATTACK!" $SYSADMIN
How do I make qmail act like "mail"? (fwd)
I appologize, but I am not sure if I'm on the list, so can you please cc: any response to [EMAIL PROTECTED]? Thanks. :) I have been running qmail for quite some time now. I recently came across a script that I'd like to use, but it is set up to use the "mail" program. I was wondering if there was a wrapper or some other add-on that makes linux think "mail" is installed, but in fact just interprets "mail" commands to qmail commands. Rewriting the code below would also work. I have been experimenting from the command line, unfortunately with not much luck. :( cat $TMPDIR/checkreport.$$ | $MAIL -s "$HOSTNAME $DATE ACTIVE SYSTEM ATTACK!" $SYSADMIN The variables are no problem. I just am not sure how to cat a file to /var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject and also set a subject and recipient. :( Thank you, Billy
