Send Email When Remote Desktop Is Not Available

Dear All,

I am not an expert with Linux so I am seeking your help. I want to send some email from Linux through Microsoft Exchange server 2013 which requires authentication. This exchange server doesn't allow sending anonymous email. Previously I am sending email using "mail -s" command. Can you guys please help me to achieve this. Any heko would greatly be appreciated. By the way I am using Oracle Linux 6.6.

I searched the forums for my title and I am not finding exactly what I am looking for. I am not using a program to send mail, such as Thunderbird or whatever. I simply want to be able to send mail from my Ubuntu 14.04 DESKTOP version for logging. I use a program called Logwatch (used alot in RHEL or CentOS) to monitor the server itself. The program sends mail to the root user account on the machine, which I can check and see, and within the program conf file, I can add an external email address, but it never sends.

I'm familiar with the SMTP concept of sending mail, outgoing mail server authentication, etc. I don't care to run this box as an SMTP server, but I understand that I need some sort of SMTP or MTA program to send mail into the real world. I tried Postfix but couldn't get that to work, and the Logwatch program wants to use sendmail, so I installed that but I am having the same issue. I am sure it is a step I am missing.

I also can't figure out how to get the 'mail' cmd from Terminal to work. I use this command:
Code:

mail -s "test" | /usr/sbin/mail myemail@domain.com

it follows through the subject, CC, body, but when I try to hit either . or CTRL-D, it never sends the email, in fact is does nothing.

I also tried sendmail with this command:
Code:

sendmail -v my@email.com < /dev/null

I was just trying to send a test email. It logs into my SMTP mail server, which I already configured, and it tells me to type out the mail, then end with a "." by itself on a single line. I try this and it just sits there.

I am missing SOMETHING when trying to actually send the mail. I can get it written with subject and body, connected, but it never sends and I am probably missing a / or something.

I did find and follow these instructions, but it still isn't working with sendmail. If I need to go back to Postfix, I can do that, I don't honestly care what I use, I just want some programs such as Logwatch to be able to email me.

Hi all

This is bothering me too much, please tell me how to change IP address of remote machine while using ssh successfully.

I follow these steps:
1. connect to remote server using 'ssh root@server'
2. Edit '/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0' file
3. issue 'service network restart' command... (at this point ssh connection gets hanged)
4. Break from hanged ssh connection (<ENTER>~.)
5. Wait for some time to let service restart
6. Then finally, ssh with new ip address.

All is fine, but last time, i did something wrong while assigning new IP address, and after service restart, remote server didn't get new ip address - and now i cant connect to remote server.

Fortunately, i had a friend there, who helped me correct the problem so that i can connect again.

But what to do when there is no one to help? Is there other way i should approach this problem?

Thanks

I've add a small centos dell quad xeon server to my rack dedicated to our large wifi system.
Is there a way to offsite manage this server similar to remote desk top?

I have an expect script to SSH to a remote host and obtain some user inputs and information about the server/network configuration. The responses are saved in a text file that I then need to copy to my local host so that I can read the lines into variables for use in the parent shell script.

Is there a way to do this without needing to enter the username and password for the local host to use function scp? I have tried the following in my expect script to no avail:
Code:

spawn scp $usr@$host:$flnm .
expect {
	-re "(.*)assword:" { 
		send -s "$pswd\r"
	}
}

I have also tried to directly scp the file and enter the username and password to try to debug the issue, and that doesn't work either:
Code:

spawn scp file.txt user@host:file.txt
expect {
	-re "(.*)assword:" {
		send -s "password\r"
	}
	"you sure you want to continue connecting" {
		send -s "yes\r"
		exp_continue
	}
}

In both scenarios I have used exp_internal 1, and there are no errors. But I do not end up with the file on my local host.

Following the copy, I would like to delete the file from the remote host. Any suggestions on how to accomplish this?
