I prefer using Mpack:

http://hpux.ee.ualberta.ca/hppd/hpux/Users/mpack-1.6/

Mpack and munpack are utilities for encoding and decoding
(respectively) binary files in MIME (Multipurpose Internet Mail
Extensions) format mail messages.

Run it like so:

/usr/local/bin/mpack -s "svr004 cfg2html" svr004.html gwild@mydomain.ca

Shalom Luis,

Possible, but easier with sendmail.

This works for us:

(cat /home/bodytext.txt; uuencode /home/attachment.txt
/home/attachment.doc | mailx -s SUBJECT-LINE -r from.name@company1.com to.name@company2.com

Note: no white space allowed in the -s parameter. Best of luck.

Hi Luis,

Take care that with last Outlook patch you could not be able to see the attchmnet in a correct way.

hi,

in script we generally, use the following technique:

export LOG_PATH=/home/logger/db/logfiles
export dt=`date +%Y-%m%d`
export emailadd1="user3@mysvr.mu"
#
###Commands


##
/usr/bin/uuencode $LOG_PATH/myprocess"$dt".log "proc.log"|mailx -m -s "This is the Log for - `date`" $emailadd1
#
# End



you may use it at the command line level as well.

kind regards

Hi Luis,

I had the same problem and decided to use the program nail instead of mailx.
You can download it from the HP-UX proting archive
http://hpux.asknet.de/hppd/hpux/Networking/Mail/nail-11.25/
and it's fairly simple to install and use.
example:
nail -s "test for nail" -a file_to_attach your_address@your_server
