Sendmail Attachments

[Christian Briddon]

Hi all,

I have a small script that emails a log to several people every week. I was wondering how I would attach a file to this email using just shell commands.

Thanks in advance,

Christian Briddon

for i in `echo filename1 filename2 filename3 ...`
do
uuencode $i $i.txt
done|mailx -m -s "test" username@whereever.com



note the uuencode and the ".txt" at the end of the second $i, this allows the files to be seen as text files.

Hi Christian,

Using straight sendmail:

(echo 'Subject:This is the subject

this is a test';uuencode /tmp/file /tmp/file.txt)| /usr/lib/sendmail robin.wakefield@ubsw.com

Note the Subject line has a blank line after it, and the uuencoded file has a .txt extension.

Rgds, Robin
