rutherford Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 (edited) OMG I've been beating my head against this for an hour. I'm going to post, and take a break. Using User Scripts, I want to create a tmp.mail.txt that I can append to while working through my bash script. Then at the end, fire it off via email. The file is supposed to have an email address in it WITH A LESS THAN symbol, and it's giving me grief. how, oh how, can I get the "<[email protected]>" echo'ed into a file!?!?!? Here's me struggling ################################## #prepare Email report ################################## echo '<user' > tmp.mail.txt #echo -e "From: TOWER \<user@gmail.com^> symbol" > tmp.mail.txt #echo -n '>' >> tmp.mail.txt #echo "To: drew <user\@gmail.com>\nSubject: postgresql backup report" >> tmp.mail.txt #echo "Date: ($date +"%Y-%m-%d-%H%M")" >> tmp.mail.txt FILE="tmp.mail.txt" echo "*** File - $FILE contents ***" cat $FILE rm tmp.mail.txt Edited February 18 by rutherford Quote Link to comment
