I'll check it out. Yes that sounds like it would be easier.
That is, when our cluster finally comes back up and the app servers are fixed. GRRRRRRRRRR
Thanks to all that replied.

Subject: Re[2]: awk and ksh question - solved
It still seems like overkill to me. I just put the pager addresses in
a alias in either /etc/aliases or .mailrc as a list for dba_oncall,
eliminating the need for db_oncall.txt.
In /etc/aliases:
db_oncall: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Or in .mailrc
alias db_oncall [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Then when I want to send them a file I do:
$ cat FILE_TO_SEND | mail -s FILE_TO_SEND dba_oncall
No messing with awk or special characters, or worrying what shell it
runs in, I know the mail aliases live where all the other mail aliases
live so I don't have to go hunting for special files when something
needs to change.
