结合grep和sendmail

Question

I am looking for a way using the command line in UNIX to email the results from a grep command.

I am grepping the error logs looking for a "searchword". I temporarily want to email the results to my work account. This is a temporary solution until the SA has the time to write a script that will write it to a file where the file will be read by an automated analyzing program.

sendmail joetester@workemail.com < grep searchword error* 

Does anyone have an idea on how to do it that they can share. Thank you.
