Beginners question about an enhancement to a shell script

Asked by holmesrk in Bourne Shell (sh), Shell Scripting

Tags: shell script

I'm new to scripting and have a question about enhancing a simple shell script.

I'm simply running a java program and then piping the output to mailx. What do I need to add to this script to include logic which won't send the email if there isn't any output from the java program?Start Free Trial
