mailx -r me@example.com -s ...
Problem
I am working on a KornShell (ksh) script running on a Solaris server that will send out an email when and error condition is met. I am sending the email via `mailx`. Question: How do I set the "From" email address on the `mailx` command? Current Code: ``` echo ${msg_txt} | mailx -s "Script Failure" ${to_email} ``` Note: The command works fine, however, the "From" is the name of the user I am running the script as and I would like for this to another email address. How would I accomplish this?
