I have script which send a mail with top output. The script look like
$ cat health.sh
#!/bin/sh
maillist="email address"
rm /home/rtq1/file
top -n 1 | head 15 > file
cat file | mailx -s "Daily Health Report from `hostname` ..." "${maillist}"
But now i am getting some junk characters along with the output in mail. If I open file in vi, it is showing with junk characters
