reporter-mailx − Sends contents of a problem directory via email. |
|
reporter−mailx [−v] −d DIR [−c CONFFILE] |
|
The tool reads a problem directory, composes an email message from the directory contents, and uses mailx to send the message to specified recipient. Properties of email messages can be specified in a configuration file, and via environment variables. |
