I currently use this message to send e-mails in a script but I would also like to save the output of this code to a file as well while preserving the variables. What's the easiest way to accomplish this?



#Sending mail notification
when=`/bin/date`
/usr/sbin/sendmail -t >2 <<-EOM
Subject:User access disabled.
From:testuser@test.com
To:$EMAIL
User $USERNAME has been disabled.


Regards,
$variable Support.

What do you mean by "while preserving the variables"?

Could the tee command be what you're looking for?

Hi

What about saving to the file and then sending that file ? (not as an attachment though)


#Sending mail notification
when=`/bin/date`
cat <<-EOM > filename
Subject:User access disabled.
From:testuser@test.com
To:$EMAIL
User $USERNAME has been disabled.


Regards,
$variable Support.
EOM

/usr/sbin/sendmail -t < filename

I have not tested this so i don't know if it works.

Kind regards
