sendEmail script truncating message

[jmartiez]

I am running the sendEmail script to send email alerts. The script works but the message body is all one line. Has anyone figured out how to enable this to multiline.

Here is my script:

#!/bin/sh


export zabbixemailto="$1"
export zabbixsubject="$2"
export zabbixbody="$3"



/usr/bin/sendEmail -f [email protected] -s smtpout.mydomain.com -xu [email protected] -xp password -t $zabbixemailto -u $zabbixsubject -m $zabbixbody

especially the "When in doubt, always double-quote your parameter expansions." part.

you are not quoting the variables passed to sendEmail. i'm surprised it works at all

I am a fairly noob on linux. I found out if I have put single or double quotes on the other variables, it doesn't work. I have figured out the original issue though. If I put \n in the action it will give me the new line. Thanks

well, variable expansion doesn't happen in single quotes, so that's out right there

you also don't have to do 'export' in the script.

in this case you could try something much more simple :

/usr/bin/sendEmail -f [email protected] -s smtpout.mydomain.com -xu [email protected] -xp password -t "$1" -u "$2" -m "$3"
