Date: 2012mar22 OS: Linux Language: bash Q. How can I send mail from a bash script? A.

echo hello | mail -s 'Subject of this mail' <receiver-address>

Where <receiver-address> is where you want the mail to go. It can be just the userid on this box or a full mail address such as user@host.com Also you can use $USER to send mail to the user that is running the script.
