Help with a short script

[H54]

Can anyone take a look at this and tell me what I'm doing wrong?

I want to create an 'at' job that sends me a reminder. If I'm online, echo to terminal, else, email to myself.

For some reason, the email portion will not work.

1 #!/usr/dt/bin/dtksh
2
3 status=`finger | grep -c $USER`
4 terminal=`tty | cut -d/ -f4`
5
6 at $1 $2 $3 <<!
7
8 if "$status" -ge 1
9 then
10 echo $* > /dev/pts/$terminal
11 else
12 echo $* > elm -s Alert name@someemail.com;
13 endif
14 !
15
16 exit

Figure I would start with the basics:

elm [-a] [-c] [-dn] [-fx] [-h] [-k] [-K] [-m] [-sx] [-V] [-v] [-w] [-z]

*Before elm can be ran an elm configuration file .elm file must be on the root or root of the user profile.

Thanks for the response. Elm is set up as I've been using it for a while. I finally got the script working but I had to create a new file with pretty much identical code. I think there is something funky going on with the server.
