I don't think there's a built-in method of doing this. You could use a
wrapper script that did something like:
#! /bin/ksh
/path/to/mytool 2>&1 | mailx -s "Tool output" $LOGNAME
Or, if you only wanted to receive output on failure:
#! /bin/ksh
f=$(mktemp)
trap "rm -f $f" 0
/path/to/mytool >$f 2>&1 || <$f mailx -s "Tool output" $LOGNAME
Or only if the command generated output:
#! /bin/ksh
f=$(mktemp)
trap "rm -f $f" 0
/path/to/mytool >$f 2>&1
test -s $f && <$f mailx -s "Tool output" $LOGNAME
... etc.
I think you're the first person who's asked about this, but it seems
like a useful feature, so I'll see if there's a way to make it easier.
