YES it exist, but, some of the 'old timers' on the list are likely |
| 16 |
to fall into deep laughter.... |

The original *Mail* tool. Note not mail but 'Mail' |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
for example: |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
Mail -s <subject> $USER < <body-file> body-file to all usernames |
| 23 |
in the file user-list-file |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
For example: |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
Mail -s paychecks -vt looser@×××××××××.com < /var/spool/mail/paycheck_stub |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
It's command line based and very friendly with shell scripts. |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
'man Mail' should get you started. Lots of newer more |
| 33 |
sophisticated things exist: |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
'eix mail' will lists reems of possibilities, but, |
| 36 |
'Mail' is dirt simple to use. |
