Hi all, I am getting the following error in my ssh terminal when my script prompts an email to be sent: exim abandoned: unknown, malformed, or incomplete option -s My script is as follows: void send_alert(const std::string &subject, const std::string &text) { start_sql("SELECT * FROM tconfig;"); run_sql(); std::string sender_addr = decode_str(sql_result("sender_addr")); std::string alert_addr = decode_str(sql_result("alert_addr")); end_sql(); std::string filename = tmpnam(NULL); std::ofstream file(filename.c_str()); file << text; file.close(); std::string cmd = "mail " + alert_addr + " -s '" + subject + "' < " + filename; system(cmd.c_str()); }
any suggestions?

  Hello :) The "s" flag as you have used it is not valid. EX: # exim -s exim abandoned: unknown, malformed, or incomplete option -s
  You should update the script so it uses a valid flag. Thank you.
