unable to put cc list in mailx

Shell Programming and Scripting

Hi,

I am using mailx command to send mail.

But unable to use -c option to send mails by cc list.

eg.
..mailx -s "subject" -c "CCLIST" "TOLIST"

Its showing " illegal option -- c"

I am using HP UX.

Can anybody help me out.

Thanks in advance..!

Try this,

mailx -s "subject" <to-addr> -c <cc-addr>

cc-addr should be a comma separated list of names.

Good thing people read the man pages of a command before complaining. Because nowhere in the HP-UX mailx page it states anything about supporting a -c switch. And it isn't in the POSIX page either (man mailx (POSIX)). Only (Open)Solaris, the *BSDs, and Linux support it.

One way would be to use mailx commands in your message, eg. put something like this into a file

~c carboncopy@example.com
~b blindcarboncopy@example.com

Hi!

This is a test

and pipe it into mailx:

mailx -s 'Subject' recipient@example.com < file
