script exits

I have this below statement at the end of the script. And the script is exiting immediately after this statement is executed. It is not going to next line. The below statements is successfully sending mail.

Code:

mailx -s "${THIS_SCRIPT} $finished." $EMAIL_USERS << End_of_Mail 
Shell script : ${THIS_SCRIPT} 
$EMAIL_MSG 
END_OF_MAIL

Code:

mailx -s "${THIS_SCRIPT} $finished." $EMAIL_USERS << End_of_Mail 
Shell script : ${THIS_SCRIPT} 
$EMAIL_MSG 
END_OF_MAIL

Remember the Unix/Linux shells are case sensitive!

Thank you, didn't have a look at that

This is very useful debugging shell scripts:

Code:

$ sh -x yourscript

Each line is echoed on the screen as it is executed, great help beyond inserting echo statements.

Wow jlinkels. That saves lot of my time using echo statements
