Question

I am new to the AIX environment , and using the mailx command for the first time. I have understood the command inorder to send the email, but I would also like to include the CC email addresses.

I am trying to execute it through Java’s Runtime.exec My command is as follows

cat EMAIL_BODY|mailx -s MAIL_SUBJ MAIL_TO 

How can I add a CC to this command

Answer 1

Set the variable askcc:

    askcc
        Prompt for the copy list. The default is noaskcc.

Read the man page for more information.

You could use the -c option where you can specify comma-separated list of CC recipients.

echo "This is a test msg" | mailx -s Hello! -c [e-mail] [e-mail]

This you can simply use it in your command from java’s runtime exec.
