Hi,
The code which you gave is not working. If I give

mail -s "test mail " "abc@xyz.com" -c "bb@xyz.com"

i have to press . as usual and if i give

mail -s "test mail " "abc@xyz.com" -c "bb@xyz.com" < file

its not working and it doesnt shows any error

It is working fine that's why it won't show any error...
try to give some real email address and check...

I tried with real address only and its not sending the mail option. Am getting the file not found error can you pls let me know what is the usage of using "<file" at the end.
Error:

file: No such file or directory

Create one empty file in the code or add content that you want to send through the mail in that file..
