ksh : using mailx and attachments - Shell Programming and Scripting

madmat · #1 08-01-2005

Hi

I want to use mailx command to send a message included more than one file.
I tried to use uuencode in pipe but it could only generate one file.
I would avoid using an archive file

Thanks to read you.

Try...

Code:

(  echo "message" 
   uuencode /path/to/file1 file1
   uuencode /path/to/file2 file2
   : etc
) | mailx -s "subject" abc@xyz.com

Thanks a lot Igor

I toke your idea to write my solution

You could find it bellow :

SUBJECT=$1
BODY=$2
RECIPIENT=$3
FILE=$4 #Files to attach (like /tmp/myfiles_*.txt)

(cat $BODY
for i in `ls -1 $FILE`
do
file_name=`basename $i`
uuencode $i $file_name
done
) | mailx -s "$SUBJECT" $RECIPIENT

Regards
Mathieu
