How to add attachment using sendmail/mailx

[Gary Yu]

Hello,

I created a cronjob to send some monitoring data files to an internet email account Monday, how can I add these files as attachment files(not inside the message body)

Thanks!

Hi
Try
/usr/bin/uuencode |mailx -m -s "Title for the email" email@address.com

If you want to send multiple files put above in a loop.

Thanks.
Prashant.

Thanks everyone for the prompt response, it works!

Actually, I'm sending out text files, and I don't know if there's uudecode or similar programs in Win2000, so I just did like this: cat file_name | mailx -s 'subject' name@host

Thanks again!
Gary
