INCLUDING COMMANDS WITHIN MAILX

[hubud]

Hi, i'm trying to include some script commands in a mailx command, in order to pass information current at the time of the mailx script.
What I get however is the piece of script text, not the result I'm hoping for.

Below is an example at the command line:

mailx jcurry@somewhere.com
Subject:

"`"at -l | tail -1"`"
.


The result I get is "`"at -l | tail -1"`". I have tried passing variables but got the same.

Any ideas appreciated


cheers

This is one syntax..
[tt]
(
echo message
at -l | tail -1
echo et cetera
) | mailx -s "subject" jcurry@somewhere.com
[/tt]
