I am calling a function in commonfuncs to send email as below:
#!/usr/bin/ksh
. commonfuncs
emailsend 'test mail' 'body of the mail' 'abc.efg#domain.com'
the function is as below:
function emailsend
{
esubject=$1
etext=$2
etolist=$3
efromid="from.id#domain.com"
echo $etext >email.txt
cat email.txt | mailx -r $efromid -s $esubject $etolist
}
The email is sent fine. But the subject is send only as test instead of test mail. Tried with double quotes too but no use.
Try to wrap with double quotes parameters of the malix command:
cat email.txt | mailx -r "$efromid" -s "$esubject" "$etolist"
because the space character is a delimiter of the command line arguemnts.

So, I have Oh My Zsh up and running, and I'm creating my own new zsh-theme. In it, I wish to grab the external IP address from https://api.myip.com - and I'm using curl & grep to grab it. Works fine when I enter it at the command prompt, but when embedded in my zsh-theme file it gives me an error:
zsh: no matches found: ((1?[0-9][0-9]?|2[0-4][0-9]|25[0-5]).){3}(1?[0-9][0-9]?|2[0-4][0-9]|25[0-5])
(23) Failed writing body

Here is my zsh-theme:
PROMPT='%F{white}%M %n %y %j $(curl -s https://api.myip.com | grep -oE '((1?[0-9][0-9]?|2[0-4][0-9]|25[0-5])\.){3}(1?[0-9][0-9]?|2[0-4][0-9]|25[0-5])') %F{green}%2c%F{blue} [%f '

ZSH_THEME_GIT_PROMPT_SUFFIX="%f"
ZSH_THEME_GIT_PROMPT_DIRTY=" %F{red}*%f"
ZSH_THEME_GIT_PROMPT_CLEAN=""
And here is the command sequence that grabs the IP address:
curl -s https://api.myip.com | grep -oE '((1?[0-9][0-9]?|2[0-4][0-9]|25[0-5])\.){3}(1?[0-9][0-9]?|2[0-4][0-9]|25[0-5])'
Try this:
# Function name that's compatible with
# http://zsh.sourceforge.net/Doc/Release/User-Contributions.html#Prompt-Themes
# in case you ever want to build a full prompt theme.
# -s to prevent curl from outputting a progress bar.

I have below script but it sends email without any attachment. What is wrong?
sendmail /A "/home/dd/data/list.txt" "dd#gmail.com" -t << EOF
To:dd#gmail.com
Subject:List of ids
This is the message
[new line]
Everything else works as expected. Thanks.
The here document is not completed.
sendmail /A "/home/dd/data/list.txt" "dd#gmail.com" -t << -EOF
To:dd#gmail.com
Subject:List of ids
This is the message
EOF
try -EOF so the trailing EOF does not need to be in the leftmost column.
Try this, I just tested it:
/usr/sbin/sendmail -tv me#myplace.com <<%%
Subject: test of sendmail
This is the note
$(uuencode attachment.file newname.txt)
%%
I did not have time to get back to this. email address goes on line 1
Try the script below:
#!/bin/sh
# send/include list.txt file after "here document" (email headers + start of email body)
cat - "/home/dd/data/list.txt" | /usr/sbin/sendmail -i -- "dd#gmail.com" <<END
To: dd#gmail.com
Subject: List of ids
This is the message

i want to set the value of inputLineNumber to 20. I tried checking if no value is given by user by [[-z "$inputLineNumber"]] and then setting the value by inputLineNumber=20. The code gives this message ./t.sh: [-z: not found as message on the console. How to resolve this? Here's my full script as well.
#!/bin/sh
cat /dev/null>copy.txt
echo "Please enter the sentence you want to search:"
read "inputVar"
echo "Please enter the name of the file in which you want to search:"
read "inputFileName"
echo "Please enter the number of lines you want to copy:"
read "inputLineNumber"
[[-z "$inputLineNumber"]] || inputLineNumber=20
for N in `grep -n $inputVar $inputFileName | cut -d ":" -f1`
do
LIMIT=`expr $N + $inputLineNumber`
sed -n $N,${LIMIT}p $inputFileName >> copy.txt
echo "-----------------------" >> copy.txt
done
cat copy.txt
Changed the script after suggestion from #Kevin. Now the error message ./t.sh: syntax error at line 11: `$' unexpected
#!/bin/sh
truncate copy.txt
echo "Please enter the sentence you want to search:"
read inputVar
echo "Please enter the name of the file in which you want to search:"
read inputFileName
echo Please enter the number of lines you want to copy:
read inputLineNumber
[ -z "$inputLineNumber" ] || inputLineNumber=20
for N in $(grep -n $inputVar $inputFileName | cut -d ":" -f1)
do
LIMIT=$((N+inputLineNumber))
sed -n $N,${LIMIT}p $inputFileName >> copy.txt
echo "-----------------------" >> copy.txt
done
cat copy.txt
Try changing this line from:
[[-z "$inputLineNumber"]] || inputLineNumber=20
To this:
if [[ -z "$inputLineNumber" ]]; then
inputLineNumber=20
fi
Hope this helps.
Where to start...
You are running as /bin/sh but trying to use [[. [[ is a bash command that sh does not recognize. Either change the shebang to /bin/bash (preferred) or use [ instead.
You do not have a space between [[-z. That causes bash to read it as a command named [[-z, which clearly doesn't exist. You need [[ -z $inputLineNumber ]] (note the space at the end too). Quoting within [[ doesn't matter, but if you change to [ (see above), you will need to keep the quotes.
Your code says [[-z but your error says [-z. Pick one.
Use $(...) instead of `...`. The backticks are deprecated, and $() handles quoting appropriately.
You don't need to cat /dev/null >copy.txt, certainly not twice without writing to it in-between. Use truncate copy.txt or just plain >copy.txt.
You seem to have inconsistent quoting. Quote or escape (\x) anything with special characters (~, `, !, #, $, &, *, ^, (), [], \, <, >, ?, ', ", ;) or whitespace and any variable that could have whitespace. You don't need to quote string literals with no special characters (e.g. ":").
Instead of LIMIT=`expr...`, use limit=$((N+inputLineNumber)).
I have a script that has a string in a file name like so:
filename_with_spaces="a file with spaces"
echo test > "$filename_with_spaces"
test_expect_success "test1: filename with spaces" "
run cat \"$filename_with_spaces\"
run grep test \"$filename_with_spaces\"
"
test_expect_success is defined as:
test_expect_success () {
echo "expecting success: $1"
eval "$2"
}
and run is defined as:
#!/bin/zsh
# make nice filename removing special characters, replace space with _
filename=`echo $# | tr ' ' _ | tr -cd 'a-zA-Z0-9_.'`.run
echo "#!/bin/zsh" > $filename
print "$#" >> $filename
chmod +x $filename
./$filename
But when I run the toplevel script test_expect_success... I get cat_a_file_with_spaces.run with:
#!/bin/zsh
cat a file with spaces
The problem is the quotes around a file with spaces in cat_a_file_with_spaces.run is missing. How do you get Z shell to keep the correct quoting?
Thanks
Try
run cat ${(q)filename_with_spaces}
. It is what (q) modifier was written for. Same for run script:
echo -E ${(q)#} >> $filename
. And it is not bash, you don't need to put quotes around variables: unless you specify some option (don't remember which exactly)
command $var
always passes exactly one argument to command no matter what is in $var. To ensure that some zsh option will not alter the behavior, put
emulate -L zsh
at the top of every script.
Note that initial variant (run cat \"$filename_with_spaces\") is not a correct quoting: filename may contain any character except NULL and / used for separating directories. ${(q)} takes care about it.
Update: I would have written test_expect_success function in the following fashion:
function test_expect_success()
{
emulate -L zsh
echo "Expecting success: $1" ; shift
$#
}
Usage:
test_expect_success "Message" run cat $filename_with_spaces
How can I send an email through the UNIX mailx command?
an example
$ echo "something" | mailx -s "subject" recipient#somewhere.com
to send attachment
$ uuencode file file | mailx -s "subject" recipient#somewhere.com
and to send attachment AND write the message body
$ (echo "something\n" ; uuencode file file) | mailx -s "subject" recipient#somewhere.com
Here you are :
echo "Body" | mailx -r "FROM_EMAIL" -s "SUBJECT" "To_EMAIL"
PS. Body and subject should be kept within double quotes.
Remove quotes from FROM_EMAIL and To_EMAIL while substituting email addresses.
mailx -s "subjec_of_mail" abc#domail.com < file_name
through mailx utility we can send a file from unix to mail server.
here in above code we can see
first parameter is -s "subject of mail"
the second parameter is mail ID and the last parameter is name of file which we want to attach
mail [-s subject] [-c ccaddress] [-b bccaddress] toaddress
-c and -b are optional.
-s : Specify subject;if subject contains spaces, use quotes.
-c : Send carbon copies to list of users seperated by comma.
-b : Send blind carbon copies to list of users seperated by comma.
Hope my answer clarifies your doubt.
Its faster with MUTT command
echo "Body Of the Email" | mutt -a "File_Attachment.csv" -s "Daily Report for $(date)" -c cc_mail#g.com to_mail#g.com -y
-c email cc list
-s subject list
-y to send the mail
From the man page:
Sending mail
To send a message to one or more people, mailx can be invoked with
arguments which are the names of
people to whom the mail will be sent.
The user is then expected to type in
his message, followed
by an ‘control-D’ at the beginning of a line.
In other words, mailx reads the content to send from standard input and can be redirected to like normal. E.g.:
ls -l $HOME | mailx -s "The content of my home directory" someone#email.adr
echo "Sending emails ..."
NOW=$(date +"%F %H:%M")
echo $NOW " Running service" >> open_files.log
header=`echo "Service Restarting: " $NOW`
mail -s "$header" abc.xyz#google.com, \
cde.mno#yahoo.com, \ < open_files.log
Customizing FROM address
MESSAGE="SOME MESSAGE"
SUBJECT="SOME SUBJECT"
TOADDR="u#u.com"
FROM="DONOTREPLY"
echo $MESSAGE | mail -s "$SUBJECT" $TOADDR -- -f $FROM
Here is a multifunctional function to tackle mail sending with several attachments:
enviaremail() {
values=$(echo "$#" | tr -d '\n')
listargs=()
listargs+=($values)
heirloom-mailx $( attachment=""
for (( a = 5; a < ${#listargs[#]}; a++ )); do
attachment=$(echo "-a ${listargs[a]} ")
echo "${attachment}"
done) -v -s "${titulo}" \
-S smtp-use-starttls \
-S ssl-verify=ignore \
-S smtp-auth=login \
-S smtp=smtp://$1 \
-S from="${2}" \
-S smtp-auth-user=$3 \
-S smtp-auth-password=$4 \
-S ssl-verify=ignore \
$5 < ${cuerpo}
}
function call:
enviaremail "smtp.mailserver:port" "from_address" "authuser" "'pass'" "destination" "list of attachments separated by space"
Note: Remove the double quotes in the call
In addition please remember to define externally the $titulo (subject) and $cuerpo (body) of the email prior to using the function
If you want to send more than two person or DL :
echo "Message Body" | mailx -s "Message Title" -r sender#someone.com receiver1#someone.com,receiver_dl#.com
here:
-s = subject or mail title
-r = sender mail or DL
