Using mailx
Code:
FILE=$1                                                         # Accept file name as argument.

[[ -s "$FILE" ]] && mailx -s "Subject" user@host.com < $FILE    # Check file size if > 0, then send mail

I prefer and recommend mailx. I hope you don't need further explanation of bipinajith's script.
