Hi!

Just recently used this to send a mail to all users on
my RaQ:

cut -d : -f 1 /etc/passwd | egrep -v -f exclude |
while read USER; do mail -s "Subject" ${USER} <
announce.txt; done

This is a 1 line shell script :))

exclude is a textfile, containing users to which you
do not want to send the mail. Mine contained these:

root
bin
daemon
adm
lp
sync
shutdown
halt
mail
news
uucp
operator
games
gopher
ftp
httpd
nobody
postgres
named
safetp

You can add/remove other users.
announce.txt contained the text which I wanted to send
to the users.
Also, you can change the Subject to what you want :)


Hope this helps,
Csaba Albert
