SEnd mail

[Taxidriver]

Hello, how can I send an email from the Linux bash?

 

[BIS]

man mail

 

[Taxidriver]

man mail works, the problem is when I use the command mail it says command not found.

 

[BIS]

how exactly are you trying to send mail, can you post the command you use? As what user? Distro?

 

[Taxidriver]

mail -s hello address@yahoo.com

 

[BIS]

try the full path,

/usr/bin/mail -s hello address@yahoo.com

assuming of course that mail is in /usr/bin .....

 

[Taxidriver]

how can i find where mail is?

 

[BIS]

man find
man locate

 

[Taxidriver]

but if I do find . mail I get a neverending list of paths

 

[BIS]

find / -name 'mail'

 

[Taxidriver]

after the neverending list of path i get find: mail: no such file or directory.

why mail is in the man then?

The webmaster told me he is going to install the program that allows to send mail. Now let's see what happens.
Bis, thanks for your patience!
I'll come back soon...it's a menace.
