New Line In shell Script
Hi All,

I written a shell script to trigger a email job. The email message body should look like as below.
Code:
Hi Team,
The upload job completed successfully.
Regards,
Vinodh Kumar

But all body message comes in a single line. Can any one tell me how to make into new line. I tried \n it doesn't work.

Note: I am passing message body as argument value with quotes.
