I am trying to create a mush script to submit report via email.
Has anyone written a script to create a banner etc. in a temporary
file, edit the file, and the mail it to the recipients?
I'm sure I could do this with a shell script to invoke mush after
creating the file but I was curious if anyone had ideas on using
mush's scripting capability alone to do this.
I've started by looking at the "digestify" script to get some ideas,
one thing I can figure out is how I might get the output of mush's
"echo" command to write to a temporary file...
Thanks,
Mitch Mitchell

What exactly do you want to echo? You can always use "sh echo ..." to get the /bin/sh echo command, and then you can use ">" to redirect. If you want some of the features of "echo -h" or "echo -p", try using "eval -h sh echo ... > file" or the same thing with "eval -p". -- Bart Schaefer schaefer@zipcode.com Z-Code Software Corporation schaefer@cse.ogi.edu
