I’m sharing two code snippets that will send an email. These snippets accept three parameters: a subject, an email address and a text file containing the email message.

Version 1:

#!/bin/bash
#############################
# Snippet that send an email
#############################

sendMail() {
  SUBJECT=$1
  EMAIL=$2
  EMAILMESSAGE=$3

  /usr/bin/mail -s "$SUBJECT" "$EMAIL" < $EMAILMESSAGE
}

Version 2:

#!/bin/bash
##############################
# Snippet that send an email
##############################

sendMail() {
  SUBJECT=$1
  EMAIL=$2
  EMAILMESSAGE=$3

  cat $EMAILMESSAGE | /usr/bin/mail -s "$SUBJECT" $EMAIL
}

My ‘mail’ tool is located ‘/usr/bin/mail’, but if yours is in a different location, change the path.

Hope this was helpful to you…
