Re: 'find' and 'sendmail'

said by DprssdIsntFn See Profile :

sendmail requires that there be no space between angle bracket and the expanded argument. e.g.

I'm curious to see what other folks say. However I can't see why Sendmail would have any visibility into what the shell does in terms of redirection. Are you sure the space is the only problem?

 You are correct. The space is a bogus issue.

I think the problem here is that "<" is a shell meta-character, but "find" is passing that directly to sendmail, bypassing the shell. So there is nothing to interpret "<" as file redirection.

Simplest would be to write a short shell script to mail one file, and then use that shell script as command that is run by "find ... -exec".
