I was going to post a question on this matter, but I'm glad someone is
discussing it, I'm trying to accomplish the same thing, I added the line:

mail -s " Systen Rebooting - SERVER_4" [EMAIL PROTECTED]

To my rc.local file so everytime the server gets rebooted, I get
notified...by email

the problem is, when running this command manually, it just seems to hang
and I know the mail serve works fine,..why would it be hanging ?? ,..is this
the right sysntax??

Thanks

Are you trying to specify both a From: and a Subject: at the same
time?  In your example:

sendmail -f MyDescription [EMAIL PROTECTED] < file.txt

If the first line of file.txt is "Subject: readme", then your mail
will arrive "From: MyDescription", "Subject: readme".  That's how I do
it, though there may be a better way.  Be aware, though, that you
should only use the -f option as root.  If it's issued as a normal
user, a warning gets added to the message headers (man sendmail for
details).
