The printf commands are piped to /usr/bin/mail

Let me guess -- are you using Solaris?  If so, pipe to /usr/bin/mailx
instead.  The printf()s will work fine.  Just fix the part that you are
piping it to.

If you're still confused, send me a command line that you use to send mail
(subject and sender and all) and I'll give you back a line for the
misccommands.cfg.

FYI: /usr/bin|lib/sendmail isn't what you want to invoke to send mail.  You
want to use a front-end program like "mail" or "mailx" or something so that
you can customize headers and all that noise.  They invoke sendmail for you.
