Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Re[2]: awk and ksh question - solved
I'll check it out. Yes that sounds like it would be easier.
That is, when our cluster finally comes back up and the app servers are fixed. GRRRRRRRRRR
Thanks to all that replied.

It still seems like overkill to me. I just put the pager addresses in a alias in either /etc/aliases or .mailrc as a list for dba_oncall, eliminating the need for db_oncall.txt.
In /etc/aliases:
db_oncall: 9991234567_at_pageme.co, lisa.koivu_at_efairfield.com
Or in .mailrc
alias db_oncall 9991234567_at_pageme.co lisa.koivu_at_efairfield.com
Then when I want to send them a file I do:
$ cat FILE_TO_SEND | mail -s FILE_TO_SEND dba_oncall
No messing with awk or special characters, or worrying what shell it runs in, I know the mail aliases live where all the other mail aliases live so I don't have to go hunting for special files when something needs to change.
