MAIL question for HP-Unix O/S
Has anyone written a script to attached a text file when sending an email using the MAIL command?
I wrote a Unix Script to email an end-user a text file. I want the file to be an attachment. I've tried the unix command uuencode but this seems to be for a binary file. My text file is garbage (binary) when it's opened from within the email.
---------------------------------------------------------
****** SAMPLE SCRIPT BELOW ******
---------------------------------------------------------
uuencode $LG_TOP/bin/ARPSONIC.txt $LG_TOP/bin/SONIC.txt > $LG_TOP/bin/dst.tst
to=dsthompson@upslogistics.com
from=dsthompson@upslogistics.com
cc=dsthompson@upslogistics.com
echo 'To:'$to > $LG_TOP/bin/dst.tmp
echo 'From:'$from >> $LG_TOP/bin/dst.tmp
echo 'Cc:'$cc >> $LG_TOP/bin/dst.tmp
echo 'Return-receipt: Yes' >> $LG_TOP/bin/dst.tmp
echo 'Subject: UPS Logistics Files ' >> $LG_TOP/bin/dst.tmp
echo 'Dear Customer' >> $LG_TOP/bin/dst.tmp
echo ' '>> $LG_TOP/bin/dst.tmp
echo 'Please find attached File' >> $LG_TOP/bin/dst.tmp
echo ' '>> $LG_TOP/bin/dst.tmp
echo 'Thank you'>> $LG_TOP/bin/dst.tmp
echo ' '>> $LG_TOP/bin/dst.tmp
echo 'Deborah S. Thompson'>> $LG_TOP/bin/dst.tmp
cat $LG_TOP/bin/dst.tmp $LG_TOP/bin/dst.tst > $LG_TOP/bin/dst.tmp1
RECIPIENTS=$to,$cc
mail $RECIPIENTS < $LG_TOP/bin/dst.tmp1

setmaillist
setmaillist(1) General Commands Manual setmaillist(1)
NAME
setmaillist - create a binary mailing list
SYNOPSIS
setmaillist bin tmp
DESCRIPTION
setmaillist reads a mailing list from its standard input.
setmaillist writes the mailing list in a binary format to tmp; it then moves tmp to bin. tmp and bin must be on the same filesystem.
If there is a problem creating tmp, setmaillist complains and leaves bin alone.
The binary mailing list format is portable across machines.
setmaillist always creates bin world-readable.
MAILING LIST FORMAT
The mailing list read by setmaillist is a series of lines. NUL bytes are not allowed.
If a line begins with a dot or slash, setmaillist takes the entire line as an include file name.
If a line begins with an ampersand, setmaillist takes the rest of the line as a recipient address. If a line begins with a letter or num-
ber, setmaillist takes the entire line as a recipient address. Each recipient address must include a fully qualified domain name. Recipi-
ent addresses longer than 800 bytes are not allowed.
setmaillist ignores blank lines and lines beginning with #. It also ignores spaces and tabs at the ends of lines.
For example,
god@heaven.af.mil
djb@silverton.berkeley.edu
is a mailing list with two addresses.
