echo "$CHECK_RESULT" | /bin/mail -s "$HOSTNAME glsa-check" [EMAIL PROTECTED]
FWIW $HOSTNAME should be present in the standard environmnet, makes the script a bit more protable if you use it. Also, is there a reason you're running the command twice? Moreover, if you set it up as a cronjob you could just let cron take care of emailing you if there is any output, and suspress the output if glsa-check doesn't print anything.. .r' 2008/6/9 JD Gray <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > I'm running the below script on my gentoo servers to email me whenever > there are GLSA's affecting me.
