Re: A few questions (auto mail script + SSH related)

While sendmail certainly can be used for that purpose, the mail program is
more appropriate:

  echo -e "If you get this message, your cron job is working
  Jim." | mail -s "Scripted Email" someone@somewhere.org


> echo "From: Jim OHalloran <jim@kendle.com.au>"

Is there really a single quote in OHalloran?  If so put double quotes around
the complete name.
