Re: Mailing SQR report from unix

[Franck Masson <franck.masson@SQRIBE.COM>]

i have tried your command from unix prompt and shell script.
I got the same result. It works .

i have done the test on solaris 2.6

try to do this :
mail root < file.uuencode

go to /usr/mail
and copy the root file to root.old

execute the same command in a shell script
and compare the file root and root.old to see if there are difference


franck,
