Shell script to run a command and send the commands output as a report in email

I am trying to write a shell script which will run a command to ssh into multiple machines and store the output in a variable and send it as a report via email.Here is what I have in the script as of now:

#!/bin/bash 

DcEmitterConn='yinst ssh -H test.out "netstat -a | grep ES | grep 25019 | wc"'

SUBJECT="DC-Connections"
EMAIL="[email protected]"
EMAILMESSAGE="report.out"
echo $DcEmitterConn> $EMAILMESSAGE
#send email using /bin/mail 
/bin/mail -s "$SUBJECT" "$EMAIL"< $EMAILMESSAGE

After executing the above command in the script it would ask me for a password and then would print the requested output. The problem i am facing in the above script is that I am not able to store the command output in the variable and print it in the email body. Can someone please let me know if I am missing something.

the output would look something like this: 

[email protected]'s password:  (yinst-pw) 
     40     240    3560
[email protected]'s password:  (supplied by yinst-pw)
     50     300    4450

Thanks in advance!

You should put double quotes around $DcEmitterConn on line 8. And you can avoid the temporary file: 

SUBJECT="DC-Connections"
EMAIL="[email protected]"
yinst ssh -H test.out "netstat -a | grep ES | grep 25019 | wc" | /bin/mail -s "$SUBJECT" "$EMAIL"
