Hi All,

I still get all the trash with this:

echo $msg | /usr/bin/mailx $smtp -s $IAm" Disk Status" -r $From  $To
2>&1 > /dev/nul

I think I am putting the `2>&1 > /dev/nul` in the wrong place.

What am I doing wrong?

It's the wrong way round. The 2>&1 means "redirect the current fd 2 to
the same place as fd 1", but at this point fd 1 is still unchanged. You
also misspelled /dev/null but I assume that's a typo.

You want "... > /dev/null 2>&1".

poc

echo $msg | /usr/bin/mailx $smtp -s $IAm" Disk Status" -r $From $To > /dev/null 2>&1

Mailx hangs.  I think mailx thinks it is a parameter.
