Sendmail help

Brian Ham — Wed, 12 Mar 2003 13:47:53 GMT

How do I attach files to a 'mail' command. (example: mail -s test email address)
I then want the body of the email to show the contents of a file (/var/adm/script/filename). I am trying all sort of things from the man page but can't figure this simple problem on my own.

Try the 'mpack' command which encodes the the named file in one or more MIME messages and directly mail it, or leave it as a string which can then be passed to a 'mail'.

The command:
cat /var/adm/script/filename | mail -s subject email-address
will send a mail to email-address, the body of which is the content of the file /var/adm/script/filename.

Is that what you wanted?
