Mail subject output of script
I am new to this site so please bear with my ignorances.
I have started playing with mail on AIX 4.3.3 with many successes (thanks to this site) but am now stuck.
I want to send a mail with the subject as the result of a script, eg. I want the mail body to read as the output from 'df -k /......' - this is sheer laziness but it would save my collegeues reading the mail when the results are in the subject header - hope this makes sense.
I have tried calling variables in the mail -s ".....${}" without success.
Regards
Kiano
