Delete old files x days and send email if its done

Question

I have a script that works removing files x days and keep the folders. I'm trying to send an email once its done with the deletion. Any advice? Current script is below:

#!/bin/bash
find /testftp/* -type f -mtime +10 -exec rm {} \;
UBJECT="FTP Cleanup"
EMAIL="[e-mail]"
EMAILMESSAGE="IT WORKS"
/bin/mail -s "$SUBJECT" "$EMAIL" "$EMAILMESSAGE"

Answer 1

One problem: you misspelled SUBJECT, but the only problem that will cause is that the message will have an empty subject.

The bigger problem is that /bin/mail reads the message body from standard input, not from a command line argument.

Try this:

SUBJECT="FTP Cleanup"
EMAIL="[e-mail]"
EMAILMESSAGE="IT WORKS"
echo "$EMAILMESSAGE" | /bin/mail -s "$SUBJECT" "$EMAIL"

Or, for a longer message body:

SUBJECT="FTP Cleanup"
EMAIL="[e-mail]"
/bin/mail -s "$SUBJECT" "$EMAIL" <<EOF
Message body line 1
Message body line 2
Message body line 3
EOF
