i want file as a attachment.

Hi,

>how to send the attachment through sendmail/mailx

(1)#uuencode LOGS.txt LOGS.txt | mailx -s " subject " user@xyz.com

this will send the mail with attachment .....if you are not able read the txt then save it and open with wordpad.

here is the diffrence between eg (1) & (2)

(2)# mailx -s " subject " .user@xyz.com
this will send the mail with body (content ) of txt

Subodh.

Hi Karki:

You may want:

# uuencode kk.txt kk.txt|mailx -s "subject"

...which sends the mail and returns the prompt. See the manpages for 'uuencode'.

That said, I have always found Dave La Mar's cheat-sheet for mail and mail attachments invaluable. He attached it in this thread:

In the case

# uuencode kk.txt kk.txt|mailx -s "subject"

comes to your mailbox as a garbled bunch of text instead of attachment, it might mean that, you mail gateway has a different way of interpreting MIME headers. You can overcome this minor headache by inserting a -m switch to your mailx command, like this:

# uuencode kk.txt kk.txt|mailx -m -s "subject"

This always works for me.

Hope this helps.
