attach text file with mailx in a script

[Edmund_5]

Hi experts:
I had a script run everyday to gen report, send as an email, but now I would like to send the text report as an attachment, is that possible to do so, I had try to use uuencode, but the report format is totally different with the orginial one. so please help me on this?

This question passed last week too. Take a look in the history.

A possible solution:
cat | uuencode | mailx -s ""

And you could look if elm is available on your machine. That mailer can solve your problem too.

If you add an ux2dos to the reply of Elmar the report must look the same:

ux2dos | uuencode | mailx -s "...." email@....com

Guess you want to send plain text readable as such, then try

cat | mailx -m -s ""

Bernhard

There a couple ways to do this. For myself, the include statement has always worked well in scripting, for a variety of types of files you want as 'true attachments' (i.e. not in the body).

Have a look here:

How about a script based on sendmail?
