I am doing a md5sum to verify nightly transfer of files between servers and want to email the results to support.

Everything works fine except reading the contents of the check file into mail.

Any suggestions or help would be much appreciated.

#!/bin/bash
cd /bak
md5sum -b `date '+%m-%d-%y'`.tgz > `date '+%m-%d-%y'`.ver
diff -s `date '+%m-%d-%y'`.md5 `date '+%m-%d-%y'`.ver > `date '+%m-%d-%y'`.chk #outfile=`date '+%m-%d-%y'`.chk #setup name of file to read into mail
mail -s 'file verify' me@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx <<MAIL_IN
~r `date '+%m-%d-%y'`.chk

.
MAIL_IN

exit

entering the same mail commands from a command prompt works.

First, stop running `date` over and over.  Run it once at the top and set a variable.

Second, what is actually going wrong?  Is there an error message?

Is this a cronjob?  If so, then don't bother using 'mail'; just echo to stdout
and let cron handle the mailing.

Yes you are right about setting a variable, but this was supposed to be a quick and dirty.

I will want it to be a cronjob when its working, how can I get it to mail the output of the diff? and not just the stdout of the cronjob? The whole point of this is the get the output of the diff to someone.
