On server1 --
SOURCE=a.txt
DEST=a.txt
R_HOST=server2
scp $SOURCE $R_HOST:$DEST || mutt -s "[copy failed] Copy of $SOURCE failed" admin@company.com
Requires you have mutt installed. If you don't, get mutt, or replace the mutt portion with a sendmail alternative.

4Almost all variants of Unix and Linux (including AIX) include the ancient `mail` program. You can just replace `mutt` with `mail` in your command and get the same result and it's basically guaranteed to work. – mattdm Nov 27 '10 at 19:45

@mattdm - agreed. No reason to create an un-needed dependency here. – EEAA Nov 27 '10 at 20:06
