Hi All,

I am getting following error while sending mail with mailx through shell script.

*********************
temporary mail file: No such file or directory
*********************

Permission for /tmp given below:

drwxrwxrwt. 18 root root 4096 Feb 11 16:07 tmp

Size for /tmp is:
80K tmp

Waiting for your kind and immediate response.

Regards,

We volunteer our time here...if you need an 'immediate response', then your best course of action would be to hire someone. Otherwise, asking for/expecting 'immediate' help is fairly rude. Also, you need to read the "Question Guidelines" link in my posting signature, because unless you provide actual DETAILS, there is nothing we can tell you. You don't tell us what version/distro of Linux, post your shell script, or really give us anything to go on.

Also, since you need 'immediate' help, did you try just putting that error into Google, along with the "mailx" term??? Because it pulls up LOTS of information, and tells you exactly why you're getting that message, and how to fix it.

Thanks for response.

No, that's the kernel version. Version/distro of Linux is just that...something like "CentOS 6.5" or "Mint 17". This tells us nothing.
...not in CODE tags, and is hard to read without them. And it also doesn't matter, since you haven't apparently tried to look up the error, as it was suggested you do.

AGAIN did you try to look up the error???? You're not setting a TMPDIR variable in your script, and you say that /tmp is 80K?? That's tiny, so redirect it somewhere else.
