Hello:

Anyone know what this line does:
mailx -s "Errors found in routine DB checkup - $ORACLE_SID" "ABC@hotmail.com" > /dev/null

what does /dev/null achieve?

It basically writes to the temp directory if any error message comes out of the statement.
that null directory is simply links to the /device/pseudo/mm@:null location.
This is to avoid any error to interfere on the next line processing of the script.
Not to worry about that.
Cheers
