Odd - the command 'mail -s"subject line" root < somefile' works fine for
me.

Greetings,
I am having a bit of trouble with a script that should email root the
output of a command but also have a subject line.
Currently we just run the command from cron and it gets sent to root's
email but with a subject line. So, I thought i would make a script that
added the subject.
I was hoping for something as easy as:
mail -s"subject line" root | ls -la
even when I output the command to a file and then try to redirect I get
failures.
mail -s"subject line" root < somefile
mail complains of unknow users 'subject' and 'line'.
Is there a simple way?
