Hello,

I would like to receive a regular email containing results of the following commands:

locate *file*
nano *file*

Is this possible?

Thanks.

Just piped the output to mail:

Code:
locate *file* | mail -s "Your subject.." user@example.com
Nano is an editor - what does it mean to email an edit session?

That worked however the following isn't sending an email:

cat /home/freeunlimitedweb.com/runtime_layeredpanel/var/log/httpd/access_log.users | mail -s "Access Log" email@email.com

Now it is time to look at your maillog in /var/log/maillog. Look for transactions at the time you sent the message.

You don't need to use cat - many programs read STDIN:

Code:
mail -s "Access Log" email@email.com /home/freeunlimitedweb.com/.../access_log.users
