[NTLUG:Discuss] need script that sends email message

[Raymond Norton]

Thank you


Actually I had looked at the docs for quite a bit, but I only found exact
examples of NT scripts calling a batch file from mrtg. I was not sure what
the equivalent was in Linux. Your response confirms I can launch the mail
command  from the script.


Thanks again

Raymond
