SendEmail and Variable
Hi everyone,

I try to send an email with "sendemail", I created four variables for do cleaner but it doesn't work Smilie below :
Code:
#!/bin/bash

sender=$(X@x.com)
recipient=$(x@x.com)
subject=$(Files Copy)
server=$(x.x.x.x)

/usr/bin/sendemail -f $sender -t $recipient -u $subject -m blablabla -s $server

I try with or without "", '', for variable but the same thing.

Output :
Code:
Sep 22 15:31:16 server-x sendemail[8608]: WARNING => The argument after -f was not an email address!
Sep 22 15:31:16 1 server-x sendemail[8608]: WARNING - The argument after -s was not the server!
Sep 22 15:31:16 server-x sendemail[8608]: ERROR => You must specify a 'from' field!  Try --help.

Thanks by advance. Smilie

Code:
$(X@x.com)

$() is a command substitution.

you need to enter the address/server/subject etc without $().
