Overwriting sender's information for mailx
Hello Forum members.
We currently have a reusable script called "send_email.sh" that is used to send us alerts when our daily jobs are completed. Script uses the mailx utility and below is a sample message:

Is there a way that I can overwrite the sender info to the following:
From: "Servacct ETL process owner - Manager Database System"
To: "EDW Prod"
Thank you.

hobbit-ackinfo.cgi
HOBBIT-ACKINFO.CGI(1) General Commands Manual HOBBIT-ACKINFO.CGI(1)
NAME
hobbit-ackinfo.cgi - Xymon CGI script to acknowledge alerts
SYNOPSIS
hobbit-ackinfo.cgi
DESCRIPTION
hobbit-ackinfo.cgi is invoked as a CGI script via the hobbit-ackinfo.sh CGI wrapper.
hobbit-ackinfo.cgi is used to acknowledge an alert on the Xymon "Critical Systems" view, generated by the hobbit-nkview.cgi(1) utility.
This allows the staff viewing the Critical Systems view to acknowledge alerts with a "Level 1" alert, thereby removing the alert from the
Critical Systems view.
Note that the Level 1 alert generated by the hobbit-ackinfo.cgi utility does NOT stop alerts from being sent.
In a future version of Xymon (after Xymon 4.2), this utility will also be used for acknowledging alerts at other levels.
OPTIONS
--level=NUMBER
Sets the acknowledgment level. This is typically used to force a specific level of the acknowledgment, e.g. a level 1 acknowledge
when called from the Critical Systems view.
--validity=TIME
Sets the validity of the acknowledgment. By default this is taken from the CGI parameters supplied by the user.
--sender=STRING
Logs STRING as the sender of the acknowledgment. By default, this is taken from the loginname of the webuser sending the acknowledg-
ment.
--env=FILENAME
Loads the environment defined in FILENAME before executing the CGI script.
--area=NAME
Load environment variables for a specific area. NB: if used, this option must appear before any --env=FILENAME option.
--debug
Enables debugging output.
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
BBHOME Used to locate the template files for the generated web pages.
QUERY_STRING
Contains the parameters for the CGI script.
