Mail help needed

[Martyn]

I have found a provider that will convert Email to Voice but they use
$START$ and $END$ for their system to understand the mails.
I have altered my mail script as below

/usr/bin/printf "%b" "$START$ Alert\n\nNotification Type:
$NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\n\nService: $SERVICEDESC$\nHost: $HOSTALIAS$\nAddress:
$HOSTADDRESS$\nState: $SERVICESTATE$\n\nDate/Time:
$LONGDATETIME$\n\nAdditional Info:\n\n$SERVICEOUTPUT$" $END$ |
/usr/bin/mailx -s " $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ alert - $HOSTALIAS$/$SERVICEDESC$ is
$SERVICESTATE$ " $CONTACTEMAIL$

But when I send a test mail I get which just adds a single $ at the
beginning and the end, is there a way to do this or is this happening
because Nagios users the $ itself, sorry for what may seem a dumb question
to you but I just do not know the answer

$ Alert

Notification Type: PROBLEM

Service: FTP
Host: test
Address: 8x.1x.9x.2x
State: CRITICAL

Date/Time: Tue May 12 15:53:40 BST 2009

Additional Info:

CRITICAL - Socket timeout after 10 seconds$

Cheers

Martyn
