I have a requirement that intends to check if core files are available in two directories and get its details using the ff. scripts:



  1. strings core.14945 | grep "pmdtm(" #core.14945 is a sample filename

  2. file core.14945

if no details, or blank will be returned on script 1, script 2 will be used. If core files do not exist in both directories, it will just log it on a text file. Otherwise, it will send an email to the users with the core file details.



To accomplish this, I have created a shell script that will do the ff.



  1. Variable storage (environment and directories)

  2. Go to the 1st directory

  3. Variable storage (count of core files, script 1, script 2): these were stored so it's easy for me to look at on the next statements.

  4. Nested IFs (check count, script 1, if blank is returned, script 2 will be used, if no core files found, a msg will be printed).

  5. Go to 2nd directory

  6. Repeat steps 3 and 4

  7. Email the results

Now, here's my problem:



  1. I want to log the results in a text file when core files doesn't exist.

(ex. ci_core_log_%sysdate%.txt)



  1. some core files exist in a subdirectory within directory 1 or 2
    (ex. folder name: core_*)


  2. Tried to use this statement:


mail -s "Core files exist in DV" kn3jer@yahoo.com -r "dvadmin@yahoo.com"



Result: it was sent to dvadmin@yahoo.com,kn3jer@yahoo.com, and -r@mwa00.localdomain



Expected result: dvadmin@yahoo.com,kn3jer@yahoo.com



Tried to use this instead:
mail -s "Core files exist in DV" kn3jer@yahoo.com



Result: it was sent to kn3jer@yahoo.com but the sender is dvadmin@mwa00.localdomain



I just want it to be sent to kn3jer@yahoo.com and the sender will be dvadmin@yahoo.com.



Can you please help me address these issues I have? My code is pasted here!



Many thanks!
