Passing Gstring to shell commands

I want to send a mail via Groovy. I tried with the mail command in mac and its working fine.

This is the command I'm using :

echo $message | mail -s "subject" [email protected]

Where message is a gstring :

def message = """ Hi 

 Test mail """

The problem I'm facing is; when the mail is delivered the message is coming in a single line rather than the way it stored.

Where I'm making the mistake??

You can do:

[ '/bin/bash', '-c', "echo '$msg' | mail -s 'subject' [email protected]" ].execute().waitFor()

ie: wrap the msg in quotes '

Obviously, any quotes in msg will need to be escaped, or this will fail.

A more resilient option would be to use java mail
