Mail command fails on Centos 5.5 i686 (patch)

[philcryer]

On Centos 5.5 i686, even with the mailx package installed from yum, the script still won't send via mailx (which isn't in the PATH, or even an installed file (?)) I'm not a big Centos user, so I fixed the script so that it will also send with the stock mail command, this requires two patches:
