Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Generate E-Mails with content on different files Post 302989065 by Corona688 on Friday 6th of January 2017 04:06:15 PM

read defines them, setting them for every line read. It takes the variable NAME, not the variable itself, which is why its read -r VARNAME and not read -r $VARNAME

Try putting it in with the email, like:

Code:
mailx -s "password for $USERID" EMAIL <<EOF
To:  $EMAIL
From:  someone@myemailserver
Subject:  Automatic password

Your automatically generated password is $PASS
This email can contain as many lines as you want
etc
etc
EOF

p.s. Do not indent the email contents to make them look prettier in the script, it won't work right if you indent it, especially the ending EOF. That has to be at the literal beginning of the line to properly end the here-document.

ATF-SH(1)						    BSD General Commands Manual 						 ATF-SH(1)

NAME
atf-sh [-s shell] -- interpreter for shell-based test programs SYNOPSIS
atf-sh script DESCRIPTION
atf-sh is an interpreter that runs the test program given in script after loading the atf-sh(3) library. atf-sh is not a real interpreter though: it is just a wrapper around the system-wide shell defined by ATF_SHELL. atf-sh executes the inter- preter, loads the atf-sh(3) library and then runs the script. You must consider atf-sh to be a POSIX shell by default and thus should not use any non-standard extensions. The following options are available: -s shell Specifies the shell to use instead of the value provided by ATF_SHELL. ENVIRONMENT
ATF_LIBEXECDIR Overrides the builtin directory where atf-sh is located. Should not be overridden other than for testing purposes. ATF_PKGDATADIR Overrides the builtin directory where libatf-sh.subr is located. Should not be overridden other than for testing purposes. ATF_SHELL Path to the system shell to be used in the generated scripts. Scripts must not rely on this variable being set to select a specific interpreter. EXAMPLES
Scripts using atf-sh(3) should start with: #! /usr/bin/env atf-sh Alternatively, if you want to explicitly choose a shell interpreter, you cannot rely on env(1) to find atf-sh. Instead, you have to hardcode the path to atf-sh in the script and then use the -s option afterwards as a single parameter: #! /path/to/bin/atf-sh -s/bin/bash ENVIRONMENT
ATF_SHELL Path to the system shell to be used in the generated scripts. SEE ALSO
