[NTLUG:Discuss] How to suppress null message body report from mail

[Neil Aggarwal]

Hello:

I have a bash script which I run off a cron job.
It does some parsing of a log file and sends the result
to an email address using this command:

cat $LOG | egrep $PATTERN | /bin/mail -s $SUBJECT $RECIPIENTS

Sometimes, the patterns result in an empty message body
(Which is intentional), but I get a cron report with 
this:

Null message body; hope that's ok

Is there a way to suppress generating this message from
mail?  I have read the man page but I don't see anything
that will help.

Thanks,
	Neil
