Reference [Solved] Cant get message body
Hi guys . I am trying to take the output of top command and mail it to myself . The code is :

Code:
echo ##############################################################

/usr/local/bin/top c n 1 b >> /export/home/top-output.txt
echo ##############################################################


WT_TO=`tail -22 /export/home/top-output.txt`


cat $WT_TO | mailx -s "Top Command OutPut" myemail@address.com

The body is empty ! Whereas if i open the txt file , I do get an output.

Hi,
there is a little mistake. Try:

Code:
echo $WT_TO | mailx -s "Top Command OutPut" myemail@address.com

Code:
echo "$WT_TO" | mailx -s "Top Command OutPut" myemail@address.com

Or in one stroke:
Code:
tail -22 /export/home/top-output.txt |
mailx -s "Top Command OutPut" myemail@address.com

Thankyou . It does work but it sends data in this form :
Code:
