Email Format Output issues
Hi Guys,
I have written a script, which output information from email notfication. The output works fine in HTML format, but non-html format it is not shown in a human readable format.

Can you help with the format ***

Code:
Script        
echo " Server Name            :  $CLIENT_CHECK   " >> $OUTF
***     echo " Server Name            :"| awk '{printf  %-45s\n, $CLIENT_CHECK   " >> $OUTF
        echo " Policy Name            :  $POLICY_CHECK   " >> $OUTF
        echo " Schedule               :  $SCHEDULE_CHECK " >> $OUTF

Code:
Output
        Server Name                   :  sv203861   
***     Server Name                   : | awk '{printf  %-45s\n  ,sv203861 '} 
        Policy Name                   :  PROJECT_FOCUS   
        Schedule                      :  FULL

Not sure I understand. At least, you mix single and double quotes.

Let me explain better, the following output comes out fine, and is displayed ok, if the user has his email set to HTML format. I am trying to cater for people who have not done this.

Code:
echo " Server Name            :  $CLIENT_CHECK   " >> $OUTF
echo " Policy Name            :  $POLICY_CHECK   " >> $OUTF
echo " Schedule               :  $SCHEDULE_CHECK " >> $OUTF

When i rewrite the code, to ensure the variable $CLIENT_CHECK is shown in column 45 spaces, it does not work
Code:
***     echo " Server Name            :"| awk '{printf  %-45s\n, $CLIENT_CHECK   ' >> $OUTF

Code:
Output
Server Name                   : | awk '{printf  %-45s\n  ,sv203861 '}

Can you help so i get something like this

Code:
Desired Output
 Server Name                  :  sv203785
 Policy Name                   :  PROJECT_FOCUS2


Code:
Not Desired Output
 Server Name                  :  sv203785
 Policy Name         :  PROJECT_FOCUS2

None of your above code lines is by any means consistent, so it's difficult to guess what you're heading for. Anyhow, try replacing the echo with e.g.
Code:
printf " Server Name            :%-45s\n" $CLIENT_CHECK

It looks like you have got yourself confused with your statement that has the awk in it. The | makes the output of the echo to become the input for the awk. The problem is, your awk does not use this input. This is what you need:

echo $CLIENT_CHECK | awk '{printf " Server Name : %-45s\n", $1}' >> $OUTF

The $CLIENT_CHECK is now sent in as the input and is referenced by the awk command using the $1.

Here again I am not sure what you are trying to do with the %-45s formatting. To me, RudiC's solution seems to be the cleanest. Trying to use awk just complicates things.

printf " Server Name : %s\n" $CLIENT_CHECK >> $OUTF
