Re: [PLUG] Why does -t option of ssh cause mail to not be sent?...

[Martin Dellwo <martin.dellwo@gmail.com>]

Though you've got a solution with 'nohup', another thought to try: append a status output as shown below.  I'm not really sure what it would mean if it worked, other than the pipe is forced to wait for a status from the mail command?  Maybe it has to wait for the internal fork to complete in that case.

echo "hello" | mail -s "Test" fred || echo 'Mail command failed'

Just out of curiosity, can you try it with tcsh instead of csh?  Or with bash?

On this server, /bin/csh is a symlink to /bin/tcsh, so that shouldn't
matter.  I tried it anyhow.  Same problem.

   #!/bin/tcsh

   echo "hello" | mail -s "Test" fred

I also tried bash.  Same problem.

   #!/bin/bash

   echo "hello" | mail -s "Test" fred
