You need to specify the filename twice, as per Geller's example. However you should ojnly put the full path on the first one, e.g. uuencode /home/delta/dev/filename.doc attachmentname.doc.

Here is something you can try..

Create one file called message.txt which has the body of the email message.

Create the attachment file. Lets call it attachment_file.txt

Now use the following commands:


/usr/bin/uuencode attachment_file.txt email_attachment.lst > attachment.txt


#concatenate message.txt and attachment.txt into combined.txt


cat message.txt attachment.txt > combined.txt

#email combined.txt file. this file has the body of the email and the attachment

mail -s "Message with Attachment" <YOUR EMAIL> < combined.txt

Try this..

${MAIL} -s "health check" -a ${Mail_file} ${Mail_addr}


If you want to send the attachment with the mail body..

${MAIL} -s "health check" -a ${Mail_file} ${Mail_addr} < content_file


Thanks
