#!/bin/sh
maillist="email address"
rm /home/rtq1/file
top -n 1 | head 15 > file
cat file | mailx -s "Daily Health Report from `hostname` ..." "${maillist}"

But now i am getting some junk characters along with the output in mail. If I open file in vi, it is showing with junk characters

^[[H^[[2J^[[m^[(Btop - 02:27:57 up 24 days, 3:16, 1 user, load average: 0.31, 0.33, 0.28^[[m^[(B^[[39;49m^[[K
