Send attachment through sendmail
Hi,

I am trying to send log file of a job run in unix machince through sendmail.Though I am able to send the text but it is not sending as attachment.

Could you please look into the code and let me know where I have gone wrong
Code:
fdate=`date %Y%j`
file_wc="/global/spsnfs/home/oracle2/sps2arc/test/*_${fdate}.txt"
attachments=''
for f in `ls ${file_wc}`; do
attachments="$attachments
 
Content-Type: text/plain;
Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=`basename $f`

Your code is over-complex for a start. You don't need the `ls ${file_wc}` bit at all. Just use for f in ${file_wc}

You also have a missing " for the attachments= statement.

I don't see where you are trying to use sendmail either. The code sort of peters out and then gets lost after that.

Can you confirm that this is the correct code?
