Hi Team,
I coded my code to send mail to some reciepents with subject and date.
Can somebody suggest me how to add host name to subject ? and the below code is correct for date ?

my aim is to send mail with "subject in < hostname> on <date>".When i execute this script on my server its hung up any idea where to change ?


Code:
#======================================================================================
#  Program          : xxx
#  Description      : xxx
#  Date             : xxx
#  Version          : 1.0
#  Usage            : xxxx.sh > xxx.out
#=====================================================================================
SUBJECT="xxxx "
DATE=`date`
echo `date` > FS.out
echo "\n-------------------$SUBJECT ---------------------\n">>FS.out
df -g /db2/db2inst1/  /db2/db2inst2/  /db2/db2inst3/ >> FS.out

if [ $? -ne 0 ] ; then
    echo `date` > FS.out
    echo "Error in df command ...Please check the Crontab entry and script " >> FS.out
exit 1
fi

echo "\n-----------------$SUBJECT  ------------------------\n">>FS.out
#SEND the FS space details to the below reciepents.

mail -s "$SUBJECT on $DATE" "xxxxx@gmail.com" -r xxx.gmail.com
< FS.out  >mail.log

if [ $? -ne 0 ] ; then
       echo "Error in Mailing to the Team  ...Please check "
       exit 1
fi
    rm FS.out

echo "sucessfully you have mailed"

shtool-echo

SHTOOL-ECHO.TMP(1)					      GNU Portable Shell Tool						SHTOOL-ECHO.TMP(1)

NAME

       shtool-echo - GNU shtool echo(1) extensional command

SYNOPSIS

       shtool echo [-n|--newline] [-e|--expand] string

DESCRIPTION

       shtool echo is an echo(1) style command which prints string to stdout and optionally provides special expansion constructs (terminal bold
       mode, environment details, date, etc) and newline control. The trick of this command is that it provides a portable -n option and hides the
       gory details needed to find out the environment details under option -e.

OPTIONS

       The following command line options are available.

       -n, --newline
	   By default, output is written to stdout followed by a "newline" (ASCII character 0x0a). If option -n is used, this newline character is
	   omitted.

       -e, --expand
	   If option -e is used, string can contain special "%x" constructs which are expanded before the output is written. Currently the
	   following constructs are recognized:

	   %B  switch terminal mode to bold display mode.

	   %b  switch terminal mode back to normal display mode.

	   %u  the current user name.

	   %U  the current user id (numerical).

	   %g  the current group name.

	   %G  the current group id (numerical).

	   %h  the current hostname (without any domain extension).

	   %d  the current domain name.

	   %D  the current day of the month.

	   %M  the current month (numerical).

	   %m  the current month name.

	   %Y  the current year.

EXAMPLE

	#   shell script
	shtool echo -n -e "Enter your name [%B%u%b]: "; read name
	shtool echo -e "Your Email address might be %u@%h%d"
	shtool echo -e "The current date is %D-%m-%Y"

HISTORY

       The GNU shtool echo command was originally written by Ralf S.  Engelschall <rse@engelschall.com> in 1998 for Website META Language (WML)
       under the name buildinfo. It was later taken over into GNU shtool.
