Is mailx not working everywhere or just in this script? Which type of unix are you on?

Perhaps you don't have everything mailx needs? Have you modified sendmail.cf to turn on mail (on my hp-ux, I had to define DS and D$w so it knew where the mail server is, see
http://groups.google.com/group/comp.sys.hp.hpux/msg/114cdd3f6cb72d67 )?

Are you getting mail back saying there were errors? Are you trying to send something bigger than your mail allows?

Daniel is right, this might be better asked in a unix forum. See http://www.dbaoracle.net/readme-cdos.htm
