IBM Script output in Email is not showing Colored headers
Hi All

I am working on AIX 7.1 and I am trying to show an output that I get from "cat" a log file to email. However in email I get the below output:

Code:
 [32m
=====================================
>>>>> Server Name, Date, UPtime <<<<<
=====================================
 [0m
Date :- Tue Aug 25 15:00:00 BST 2015

In the script I have defined the colors as:
Code:
#!/bin/sh
echo "\033[32m
=====================================
>>>>> Server Name, Date, UPtime <<<<<
====================================="
echo "\033[0m"
echo "Date :- `date`"
echo " "

Below is the script I have created to send this output:

Code:
#!/bin/sh
/var/log/test > /var/log/test.log
cat /var/log/test.log | sendmail example@bob.com


I have checked numerous threads on this forum about making sure I have right html editor and making sure the variables are defined correctly.
I have ran several scripts to try and get this to work but I am prompted with the same output.

Can anyone help?

PS. I am new to scripting.
