Unix mail command with subject line

[hpuxrox]

Hey,

I have a quick question about the mail command. I have the follow command line,

omnidb -session -since $DATE -detail | mail $EMAIL

What I want to do is put a suject in the email.

Anyone know how to do this?


Thanks

Use mailx instead:

omnidb -session -since $DATE -detail | mailx -s "this is my subject line" $EMAIL

Hi Yates,

simply add the -s "Your_subject" option to your mail command.

Allways stay on the bright side of life!

Hi Yates

omnidb -session -since $DATE -detail | mail -s " SUBJECT " $EMAIL

Hi,

Try,

omnidb -session -since $DATE -detail | mailx -s "Subject Line" $EMAIL

Hope this helps.

I would use either mailx or elm instead of mail:

# mailx -s "Subject" ...
# elm -s "Subject" ...
