Font Editing to be done in shell script
Hi,
Iam writing a script in unix shell and need to edit the output (With colors and bold/italic/underline) and send as email. Can someone please help me on this requirement

Output as below. Need to know how to set this in echo command

Code:
Message Flow: messageflow1 //need to put this in red color
Execution Group: EG_mail2 //need to make this line bold font
Status: STOPPED

Code
Code:
echo "Message Flow:    $brokerflow" >> stoppedflow.txt
  echo "Execution Group: $eg" >> stoppedflow.txt
  echo "Status: STOPPED" >> stoppedflow.txt
mail -s "`hostname` Alert!! Broker message flow is stopped" sample@xxx.com < stoppedflow.txt

That highly depends on the capabilities of the receiving side. Will the mail be read using a mail client that understands/interprets HMTL text? Or just on a terminal capable of interpreting ECMA-48/ISO 6429/ANSI X3.64 terminal controls?

Hi RudiC,
Outlook 2013 is the mail client which is the receiving system

Thanks.

Well, I don't know anything about Outlook 2013. Does it accept HTML mails?

Try this very simplified version
Code:
printf "<html><body>\n<font color=\"#ff0000\">Message Flow: %s</font><br><b>Execution Group: %s</b><br>Status: STOPPED\n</body></html>\n" $brokerflow $EG > stoppedflow.txt

It might happe that outlook reckognized the txt extension and doesnt do html parsing on it.
Unless you only send the content of stoppedflow.txt, and not the whole file.
