Take a look at this script:

There is a working script in there. You can adapt it easily to your needs.

Hi Himacs,

Following are different methods for mail attachments:

SENDING EMAIL WITH ATTACHMENT- 1
# uuencode /etc/lvmconf/vg00.mapfile /etc/lvmconf/vg00.mapfile | elm -s "test att" rk@abc.com -JUNK

SENDING EMAIL WITH ATTACHMENT- 2
# ux2dos /etc/lvmconf/vg00.mapfile | uuencode /etc/lvmconf/vg00.mapfile | mailx -m -s "Test" rk@abc.com -WORKING

SENDING EMAIL WITH ATTACHMENT- 3

`ux2dos /home/abc/.cshrc | uuencode /home/abc/.cshrc.txt`

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.

Regards,
Subodh.

The easiest way is to use "elm" -- TUI based electronic mail.

# elm

You will see something like below:

You can use any of the following commands by pressing the first character;
d)elete or u)ndelete mail, m)ail a message, r)eply or f)orward mail, q)uit
To read a message, press . j = move down, k = move up, ? = help

Command: m
Send the message to: abc@xyz.com
Subject of message: xxxxxxx
Copies to: def@xyz.com

>>Vi editor open here for typing a message, type and save and quit

Then you will be prompted:
Please choose one of the following options by parenthesized letter: s
e)dit message, edit h)eaders, s)end it, a) attachments or f)orget it. <<= select what you want, example "a" to add attachment.

a
Attachments:
a)dd, e)dit, d)elete, m)odify, q)uit
a
Filename: /tmp/my_attachment1 <<== type full path of req file
Hit return

Attachments:
a)dd, e)dit, d)elete, m)odify, q)uit
a
Filename: /tmp/my_attachment2 <<== type full path of req file
Hit return

Attachments:
a)dd, e)dit, d)elete, m)odify, q)uit
q

Please choose one of the following options by parenthesized letter: s
e)dit message, edit h)eaders, s)end it, a) attachments or f)orget it.

s

Mail sent!

Command: q

So this is how you can send multiple attachments via elm.

Hope this is what you are looking for.
