Sending email from scripts

[Gremlin]

Hi all,

I'm looking for a way to send email alerts from scripts. I have a R61 gateway that I've set up cron jobs on it. Those cron jobs are scripts and it may be helpful if they can send email on special occasions (such us something failed). The built-in sendmail doesn’t really help (I got the syntax right but it seems like you cannot run it from cli/scripts. It just gets stuck).

Is there any way I can send emails from splat and can it be used in a script?

Any suggestion will be appreciated,
Alex.

try this script in a test cron with adjusted parameters

#!/bin/bash
. /root/.bashrc

cat << _EOF | sendmail -s 'test script ' -t MyMail Relay -f splat@MyDomain MyMail@myDomain

this is my script output from cron

this is the env.
$env
_EOF

To feed the (internal_)sendmail with content you have to pipe it.
