Please give some help.

Power sending a attachment from unix to Lotus Notes

I am trying to do the same thing. The file that sets sent is in the message box. I was wondering if there is a way to send mail as an actual stand alone file.

Thanks

the uuencode works for me on an aix system. The message shows up with the attachment symbol and when I open the message I can see my file, click on it and open it. Maybe these sites will help you out.

You can use MIME.... You can use a simple, fudged up version, supplying your own headers, like in the script I supplied. It will send a PDF file to the user. Use it like follows:
mailmime.sh myfile.pdf recipient.address@place.com
Code:
#!/bin/sh

my_file="$1"
recip_adr="$2"

echo "\
Subject: File attached for your approval
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-type: multipart/mixed; boundary="^A^A^A^A^A"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

--^A^A^A^A^A
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; name="BDY.TXT"
Content-Disposition: inline; filename="BDY.TXT"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

Please review the attached file.

--^A^A^A^A^A
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; name="attachment.txt"
Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="attachment.txt"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

" > mailfile

cat ${my_file} >> mailfile
echo "
--^A^A^A^A^A--" >> mailfile

sendmail ${recip_adr} < mailfile

This trick is used by our admin here to send out automated text reports to various people. I modified it to be standalone, and it could be modified much more for your needs as well...

Hope this helps.

mailx vs sendmail question

Folks:

I tried what LivinFree posted (fudged up MIME coding) but the only difference is

/usr/bin/mailx "shlomstein@yahoo.com"@mail <thisfil2

on the command line instead of

sendmail ${recip_adr} < mailfile

I'm getting no subject and the entire file in the body. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? Will mailx work instead of sendmail? Do I need some flag set or something that tells mailx to use the MIME encoded file to get the subject body and attachments instead of what it's doing, which is assuming I have no subject and the entire thisfil2 is the body.

TIA,

Steve
