Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Problem with << redirect - Please help! Post 302585955 by agama on Thursday 29th of December 2011 07:09:54 PM

A 'here doc' needs to have an end (the "HERE" in your case). You don't have an end to your doc, so it ends up taking everything to the end of file. Something like this might work if I understand what you are trying to do.

Code:
cat <<endKat | sendmail -oi -t -f $P_FROM_ID
To: ${P_TO_ID}
From: ${P_FROM_ID}
Subject: ${P_SUBJECT}

$P_BODY
endKat
if [ $? -eq 1 ]
then
    echo 'ERROR while sending email.'
    exit 1
fi

I used endKat as there is very little chance that that word will appear in the document itself.

mdu(1)							      General Commands Manual							    mdu(1)

Name
       mdu - display the amount of space occupied by an MSDOS directory

Note of warning
       This  manpage  has been automatically generated from mtools's texinfo documentation, and may not be entirely accurate or complete.  See the
       end of this man page for details.

Description
       Mdu is used to list the space occupied by a directory, its subdirectories and its files. It is similar to the du command on Unix.  The unit
       used are clusters.  Use the minfo command to find out the cluster size.

       mdu [-a] [ msdosfiles ... ]

       a      All files.  List also the space occupied for individual files.

       s      Only list the total space, don't give details for each subdirectory.

Viewing the texi doc
       This  manpage  has  been automatically generated from mtools's texinfo documentation. However, this process is only approximative, and some
       items, such as crossreferences, footnotes and indices are lost in this translation process.  Indeed, these items have no appropriate repre-
       sentation  in  the manpage format.  Moreover, not all information has been translated into the manpage version.	Thus I strongly advise you
       to use the original texinfo doc.  See the end of this manpage for instructions how to view the texinfo doc.

       *      To generate a printable copy from the texinfo doc, run the following commands:

		     ./configure; make dvi; dvips mtools.dvi

       *      To generate a html copy,	run:

		     ./configure; make html

       A premade html can be found at `http://www.gnu.org/software/mtools/manual/mtools.html'

       *      To generate an info copy (browsable using emacs' info mode), run:

		     ./configure; make info

       The texinfo doc looks most pretty when printed or as html.  Indeed, in the info version certain examples are difficult to read due  to  the
       quoting conventions used in info.
