sendmail subject line

[umeman]

Admins,

Does anyone know how to add a subject line to
the sendmail command on a Solaris 8 system

For example the line "This is a test" will appear
in the e-mail body, but now I also want to
add a subject line

echo "This is a test" | sendmail test@test.com

Any help appreciated with example

Thanks

why not just use the mail options on the task bar.
It will give you that option for a subject.

mrfixit - there's no taskbar on the command line ;-)

umeman, how about something like this ...
[tt]
# /usr/lib/sendmail test@test.com
subject: Test
This is a test ;-)
.
#
[/tt]
This works on my solaris box

But, assuming you want to call it from a script, why not use mailx?

Eg:[tt]
# echo "This is a test" | mailx -s "Test subject" test@test.com
[/tt] One by one, the penguins steal my sanity. X-)

The reason why I need this format is because I need to execute the email from
a shell script

Thanks

HI

Ya. mailx is good option.

Try
#mailx -s &quot;subject&quot; e-mail_addresses < file containing mail details
