send email help.
I want to send an email, however I like to subject line of the email to be different, depending on the content or body of the email, is this possible.

Ok - lets say the body of the email will always have the word job name, and depending on the 4,5 and 6 position of the job name, in this case its MLO. i like it the subject to say (Accounting dept).

Example of email body:
Code:
 
A Job has abended.
Please check information below:
Workstation: LILTST505
Job Stream: 0AAAAAAAAAAAHPI4
Job Name: CU_MLOK_IAM_INTAKE_PROCESS_LILVSGT4W
Job ID: 547448
Job Status: 5
Scheduled Time: 2010062812110000
Actual Start: 2010070113140000

Code:
$> VAR=`awk -F"_" '/^Job Name/ {print substr($2,0,3)}' infile`
$> echo $VAR
MLO

For the mail command, checkout it's man page or one of the uncountable examples on the web or in this forum.
