I wish to thank everyone who replied so promptly to my message. I appreciate all the help. I knew this had to be simple, but I was having a brain freeze. With you help I was able to get the script running in 2 minutes.

You can simply pipe something to (or otherwise redirect the input of) the mail command, which will correctly identify the end of file, ie: echo "hello world" | mail -s test [EMAIL PROTECTED] -or- mail -s test [EMAIL PROTECTED] </my/test/message -- Charles Steinkuehler [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials Free Linux tutorial presented by Daniel Robbins, President and CEO of GenToo technologies.
