Problems with mailx in c++

[jolle-pe]

Hi,

I got a problem with my c++ Program. It uses the mailx package for email notification.

When I type in the terminal the email will arrive the reciever.

Code: Select all

cat helloworld.txt| mailx -s 'This is the subject' johndoe@gmx.de

But when I try it in my c++ program with the following programcode, it doenst receive, nor any error will show up:

Code: Select all

system("cat helloworld.txt| mailx -s 'This is the subject' johndoe@gmx.de");

Does anyone have a clue whats wrong?

It worked OK for me in a simple c program.

Code: Select all

#include <stdio.h>
#include <strings.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

void main () {
system("cat ~/hw.txt | mailx -s 'This is a test' pi@raspberry");
}
