spirtle,

I have the backticks because that's the example I found. I'm still a noob and don't know any better. Anyway, thanks for the suggestion! Here's the final code:

BODY=`cat <<EOF...

All,

I'm having difficulty using a variable as the body of an e-mail; I suspect it has to do w/quoting, but am not sure. Right now I have separate functions for sending information and for sending...

All,

I've got a script that needs to check if it was started by cron. The code seems to be right, but it's not running correctly if cron starts it. Am I getting the pid's correctly? I'm not having...

Thanks for the example. My question was because I wasn't sure if the variable UL_PROCESS would be set/reset every time.

What I'm doing is creating a script that can be run via cron or command...

Sorry, I'm new to this and am surprised I've made it this far.

You could also do

That is, greater than + space + filepath

Never mind. I figured it out. When I was testing, I guess I put the back ticks "`" in the wrong place. They should be at the beginning of the mailx line and after the EOF line.

All,

I have a ksh script running on HP-UX (B.11.23 U ia64) that calls mailx and works the way I want. But I am modifying my script so that it uses functions instead of processing in-line. When I...
