nail not respnding

qwertyjjj · 03-30-2010, 04:12 PM

I run this script but it hangs at the nail command like it's expecting a response. Any ideas how to get it to send automatically?

Code:

#!/bin/bash
emailadd="aaa@aaa.co.uk"
usern="testcert"

cd /etc/openvpn/
cd /etc/openvpn/easy-rsa/2.0/
source ./vars

#create certificates
./pkitool $usern

#zip files
cd /etc/openvpn/easy-rsa/2.0/keys/
zip $usern.zip ca.crt $usern.crt $usern.csr $usern.key client.ovpn

#email files
nail -r sales@aaa.co.uk -s "Proxyserver VPN Keys" -a $usern.zip $emailadd

#delete any unecessary files
rm -rf $usern.zip

Hi,

nail is waiting for the message body. If you don't want to write anything in the body, just redirect /dev/null into message:

Code:

nail -r sales@proxyplayer.co.uk -s "Proxyserver VPN Keys" -a $usern.zip $emailadd < /dev/null

Regards

If I need text in the body is there any command line option like --body or do I just type the message after $emailadd?

No, but you use any of the following:

Code:

nail -r sales@proxyplayer.co.uk -s "Proxyserver VPN Keys" -a $usern.zip $emailadd < message.txt
cat message.txt|nail -r sales@proxyplayer.co.uk -s "Proxyserver VPN Keys" -a $usern.zip $emailadd
