hangs because the mailx command reads the text to be sent as the body of your message from standard input. When you type the second command above it is sitting there waiting for you to type in the text to be sent.

If you type in the text that you want to be the body of your message after entering the 2nd command above and then hit Ctl-D to terminate the message, the command should do what you seem to expect.
True.. while i understand that > the main problem is with the OP test.sh script.

I got the line causing the email to fail and not showup in my inbox.

I changed this line test.sh From
Code:
        print "From: Prod@`hostname`.mycomp.com"

to
Code:
        print "From: me@mycomp.com"

and now it works.

Can you tell me why is this line print "From: Prod@`hostname`.mycomp.com" FAILS to send out emails and what is the FIX ??

check-hostname

check-hostname(1M)					  System Administration Commands					check-hostname(1M)

NAME

       check-hostname - check if sendmail can determine the system's fully-qualified host name

SYNOPSIS

	/usr/sbin/check-hostname

DESCRIPTION

       The  check-hostname  script  is a migration aid for sendmail(1M). This script tries to determine the local host's fully-qualified host name
       (FQHN) in a manner similar to sendmail(1M). If check-hostname is able to determine the FQHN of the local host, it reports  success.  Other-
       wise, check-hostname reports how to reconfigure the system so that the FQHN can be properly determined.

FILES

       /etc/hosts	     Host name database

       /etc/nsswitch.conf    Name service switch configuration file

       /etc/resolv.conf      Configuration file for name server routines
