Specifically, on Solaris, there's a half dozen mail programs that come
bundled with the operating system. Ideally, I think this routine should
simply call "sendmail -t" -- but I think that would require a few more
changes than just the one Vikas mentions (and could result in some odd
warnings that might panic some).
But, you can use any one of the following:
/usr/bin/mail <- does NOT accept "-s"
/usr/bin/mailx
/usr/ucb/Mail
/usr/ucb/mail
(and I'm probably missing a couple - but hopefully that clarifies things
slightly)
