Subject line of an email

Hi all,

I am trying to automate a process in which at the end of the process the script should send an email to the user saying this process is completed.

I have done everything but the problem now is the subject line of the email...

the subject line looks like this..
Quote:
line 1:

REQ_SUBJECT="Email Notification - Requested Process completed - FILE sent to abc xyz"
where abc xyz is a company name which changes for every new process.

if i use the above variable for my subject line while sending email, i'll not get any email.

but..
if i use it as below..
Quote:
line 2:

REQ_SUBJECT="Email_Notification_-_Requested_Process_completed_-_FILE_sent_to_abc_xyz"
it works perfectly fine...

So some one please help me is it not possible to put a subject line with spaces in between?? if yes then is there any way to modify the line 1 using script to replace those spaces into an underscore inside the same file..

PLease help...

Thank you.

Regards,
Deepak.

NAME
rt-email-dashboards - Send email dashboards SYNOPSIS
rt-email-dashboards [options] DESCRIPTION
This tool will send users email based on how they have subscribed to dashboards. A dashboard is a set of saved searches, the subscription controls how often that dashboard is sent and how it's displayed. Each subscription has an hour, and possibly day of week or day of month. These are taken to be in the user's timezone if available, UTC otherwise. SETUP
You'll need to have cron run this script every hour. Here's an example crontab entry to do this. 0 * * * * /usr/bin/perl /opt/rt4/local/sbin/rt-email-dashboards This will run the script every hour on the hour. This may need some further tweaking to be run as the correct user. OPTIONS
This tool supports a few options. Most are for debugging. -h --help Display this documentation --dryrun Figure out which dashboards would be sent, but don't actually generate or email any of them --time SECONDS Instead of using the current time to figure out which dashboards should be sent, use SECONDS (usually since midnight Jan 1st, 1970, so 1192216018 would be Oct 12 19:06:58 GMT 2007). --epoch SECONDS Back-compat for --time SECONDS. --all Ignore subscription frequency when considering each dashboard (should only be used with --dryrun for testing and debugging) perl v5.14.2 2013-05-22 rt-email-dashboards(8)
All times are GMT -4. The time now is 03:55 PM.
