reporter-mailx − Sends contents of a problem directory via email. |
reporter−mailx [−v] −d DIR [−c CONFFILE] |
The tool reads a problem directory, composes an email message from the directory contents, and uses mailx to send the message to specified recipient. Properties of email messages can be specified in a configuration file, and via environment variables. |
Configuration file |

The subject of the email message. |

Use yes/true/on/1 to attach all binary files from the dump directory to the email. This can cause the emails to be very large. |
