[Techtalk] shell script to send out pages/emails

[Philip J. Priest]

Im having a problem on redhat 7.1.  this script i need to ping things and
then send out email/page alerts.

this shell script works on my hp-ux 11.0 box.

!/bin/bash
export cntr=0
/bin/ping int-dns2 -c 6 -s 8 | tail -1 | awk '{print $7}' > pack
        for C in `cat pack`
        do
        echo "${C%\%}"
        done > pack1
        export h=`cat pack1`
                if [ $h != 0 ]
                        then STATE=down
                        export cntr=1
                        else STATE=up
                        export STATE
                fi
if
        [ $cntr -ne 0 ]
then
echo Helo > metro
echo Mail From: int-dns1 at itsinc.com >> metro
echo Rcpt To: ppriest at itsinc.com >> metro
# echo Rcpt To: oramirez at itsinc.com >> metro
echo Rcpt To: 7132881920 at page.metrocall.com >> metro
# echo Rcpt To: 7132880215 at page.metrocall.com >> metro
echo data >> metro
echo Subject: netcheck >> metro
echo 'Date check: '$DAY'' >> metro
echo 'Network check:int-dns2'$STATE'' >> metro
echo >> metro
echo . >> metro
echo quit >> metro
telnet 205.219.16.88 25 < metro
fi
exit

anyone have any clues as to why i won't send out the emails/pages?
