adding hostname and date in subject of the mail
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"
~

Regards

Code:
HOST=`hostname`

If you are using your office or home network to send mails to gmail, then I don't think it will work.

Because the current server IP will go for NAT and will go as public IP from your ISP. I don't think it will work. I may bot be correct.

Instead try to send mails inside your own domain.

Code:
cgi@tioman> (/home/cgi/c_test) $
cgi@tioman> (/home/cgi/c_test) $ mail -s "Test2" senthilkumaran.rajagopalan@billing.com
Hello testing mail
last line
.
Cc:
cgi@tioman> (/home/cgi/c_test) $
cgi@tioman> (/home/cgi/c_test) $

This is just using the prompt without using scripts.

Try to send a simple mail from prompt to check the connectivity and later you can do it using script.

If you are using crontab, make sure you absolute paths for log files and eveything.
