UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

folks,

I wrote a script like follow for sending notification email, but the problem is cannot pass the multiple words to the subject line, any help:

=======================================
send_msg () {
send_email $1
exit 1;
}

send_email () {
mail -s $1 $mail_address << MAIL
test
MAIL
}

if [ ! -f test.again ]; then
send_msg "No file found"
fi

======================================

the subject line should be "No file found", but the output from this script only "No", I also tred to put "", but got error msg.

Any help?

Thanks

you should do

send_email "$1" instead of send_email $1

same with

mail -s "$1" $mail_address << MAIL

that's right, I missed """, thanks.
