Hi,

Try to use uuencode to send the mail, there are more information in man pages.

Hi Anthony

This is from the man page:
To encode and send a compiled program foo to user friend:

uuencode foo foo | mailx -s 'new program' friend

After receiving the mail message, user friend can decode the program
by first saving the message in a file foo.mail and executing the
command:

uudecode foo.mail

Hope this help,

Justo.

Hi Anthony,

Would add something like

uuencode $FILE2FIND | mailx -s "subject_line" user@domain.com

OR

mailx -s "subject_line" user@domain.com < uuencode $FILE2FIND

HTH,
Jeff

This code should work as well.

(
echo "From: "
echo "To: "
echo "Subject: "
echo "This is the body of the e-mail.
If you are having any problem with this file please give us a call.

"
/usr/bin/uuencode /local/filename filename
) | /usr/sbin/sendmail user@company.com

Hi,

uuencode $filecheck | mailx -s "subject_line" user@domain.com

I am getting this in email

begin 0 tdmgw.ret.txt
.=&1M9W`
end

The email will go to window or NT system, Can someone put the light here

Justo Exposito — Tue, 23 Apr 2002 15:22:25 GMT

Hi Anthony,

This is because you must put:
uuencode $filecheck $filecheck| mailx -s "subject_line" user@domain.com

Justo.

Anthony,

Yep Justo is correct.
Sorry I left out the output filename in the uuencode command.

Rgds,
Jeff

Hi Again,

I forgot to tell you that perhaps you need to change the file format from HP/UX to DOS format, to do this you need the command ux2dos
see the man page.

Justo.

Check out Rita's method (the 2nd last reply) in this thread. It appends the "include" statement to the file before sending it out.

Hi Anthony,

Can you try to do with a simple ascii file?
I just tried with a simple ascii file called probe and it work fine between my HP/UX and my NT with outlook.

uuencode probe probe |mailx -s 'hello' myuser@mydomain.es

If you try it and all it's good then you can put the right sentence in your complex script.

Justo.

Hi Anthony,

You need a -m flag for mailx to send it as an attachment ...
check the man pages for mailx

uuencode filename filename | mailx -m -s "subject" abc@abc.com

Thanks,
Shabu

Hi,
On my side, I'm using another tool called 'nail' which create mime attachment.
You can download it at
http://hpux.cs.utah.edu/hppd/hpux/Networking/Mail/nail-9.30/

syntax is quite the same as mail and is very easy to use.

Hi Anthony,

I think that you must zip your files in one and then use uuencode, there are a free pkzip software for HP/UX in this page:
