please help me

[John Joseph]

Hi
   I also tried the command 

  /usr/bin/printf "%b" "***** Nagios 
*****\n\nNotification Type: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\nHost:
$HOSTNAME$\nState: $HOSTSTATE$\nAddress:
$HOSTADDRESS$\nInfo: $OUTPUT$\n\nDate/Time:
$LONGDATETIME$\n" | /bin/mail -s "Host $HOSTSTATE$
alert for $HOSTNAME$!" joseph at nagtest.com

        in the command mode , the message did not go,
it gave  error as 

             -bash: !": event not found


  Then I removed the ! after $HOSTNAME$ and tried 

         /usr/bin/printf "%b" "***** Nagios 
*****\n\nNotification Type: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\nHost:
$HOSTNAME$\nState: $HOSTSTATE$\nAddress:
$HOSTADDRESS$\nInfo: $OUTPUT$\n\nDate/Time:
$LONGDATETIME$\n" | /bin/mail -s "Host $HOSTSTATE$
alert for $HOSTNAME$" joseph at nagtest.com 

      The mail went , Shalle I remove the ! parameter
from the "$HOSTNAME$!" and try it on nagios 
              I need advice 
                    Thanks 
                       Joseph John
