Changing a shell template variable
I'm trying to use a custom command in the configServer loadalert.txt file. the problem is that any command that I place inside the square brackets is simply not working.

PHP Code:
This is a multi-part message in MIME format.
--------------[boundary]
Content-Type: text/plain;
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

Time:                    [time]
1 Min Load Avg:          [loadavg1]
5 Min Load Avg:          [loadavg5]
15 Min Load Avg:         [loadavg15]
Running/Total Processes: [totprocs]

--------------[boundary]
Content-Type: text/plain;
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
Content-Disposition: attachment;
 filename="ps.txt"

Output from ps:
[top -b -c -n 1]

--------------[boundary]
Content-Type: text/plain;
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
Content-Disposition: attachment;
 filename="vmstat.txt" 
Any ideas how I can display the 'top -b -c -n 1' command inside the loadalert file to work?

Post #1 appears to be a partial mail file from a SMTP mail program. Whilst it is not impossible to edit such a file and insert reports ready for a mail program such as "sendmail", there has to be an easier method e.g. "mailx").
I'm assuming that the commands are intended to be run on the local system with the results reported by email.
If this is actually an attempt to find out how to execute commands on a remote system by means of a rogue email message then you will not find the solution here.

This is not a rogue email...Im using Configserver software and I need to edit the commands because the default template only shows list of current processes..I need to list them in sorted order of CPU consumption.
