mailx doesn't do attachments. You must uuencode or shar(1) up the text.

To get add CC, you can use ~h to edit the 4 headers. Or use ~c name or ~b name to add to what is there.

Hi Nirmal,
I suggest you to use mail instead.
Read man mail for further info and options.

hi Nirmal,

one simple example for sending a mail with an attachment is:

/usr/bin/uuencode $logfile "Reports Server cache-deleted.lis"|mailx -m -s "Your subject on $(date)" $emailadd1

where emailadd1 and logfile are environment variables pointing to valid values.

hope this helps!

kind regards

Why would you ever want to use mail(1) instead of mailx(1)?
