Formatting Help
Hi Guys,

i have report that runs every 10 min and send the report of failed jobs to my mail.

Currently i am using a command like this to send mail.

Code:
mailx -t -s "FAILURE JOBS IN HYDRA $temp_date" addressee@domain.com < temp_file5

But i am getting mail in this format ....
Code:
newcmo_trace_hold_pl        newcmo_daily_cycle     04/12/2012 08:50:29      04/12/2012 08:50:44     Yes      s(newcmo_rowcounts)
rigs_alleyoop_apply            rigs_daily_cycle            04/12/2012 08:52:50      04/12/2012 08:53:30     No       -------

output in unix in temp_file5 looks like this (in a kind of Tabular Form) ....
Code:
newcmo_chk_rack_triggers            newcmo_daily_cycle          04/13/2012 06:10:15         04/13/2012 06:10:22            No                              -------                                          
rigs_alleyoop_apply                 rigs_daily_cycle            04/13/2012 06:47:25         04/13/2012 06:48:19            No                              -------

Is there anyway that i could get the body of mail as the one in unix style ....

Please Help .... Thanks

Please review your post now I have laid it out with code tags. I can't see a correlation between the two samples.
Are there tab characters in the file?
What mail reader do you use?

Hi,

Yes the one that is see in unix has Tab spacing, but the one that i get mail does not have.

i use this to format the entries ...

Code:
fmt3='%-35s %-27s %-27s %-30s %-31s %-48s \n'

and run this command in a loop ...

Code:
printf "$fmt3" "$job_name" "$cycle_name" "$srt_time" "$end_time" "$job_depd" "$srt_cond" >> temp_file5

I use outlook

I can't see any tab characters in your code.

If you are using Microsoft Outlook as a mail reader, uncheck this setting:
Tools / Options / Preferences / E-mail options / Remove extra line breaks in plain text messages.

I did what you mentioned but ... i am still getting the mails in this format ...


rigs_alleyoop_apply rigs_daily_cycle 04/13/2012 06:47:25 04/13/2012 06:48:19 No -------
rdc_load rdc_feed_cycle 04/13/2012 09:43:30 04/13/2012 10:23:57 No s(rdc_archive)


i mean they are not aligned .... is there any way that i could align all the columns (Like that in a Table).
