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

shtool-mkshadow
SHTOOL-MKSHADOW.TMP(1) GNU Portable Shell Tool SHTOOL-MKSHADOW.TMP(1)
NAME
shtool-mkshadow - GNU shtool create shadow tree using symlinks
SYNOPSIS
shtool mkshadow [-v|--verbose] [-t|--trace] [-a|--all] src-dir dst-dir
DESCRIPTION
This command creates a shadow tree of src-dir under dst-dir by recreating the directory hierarchy of src-dir under dst-dir and by creating
the files of src-dir by linking them into the corresponding directories under dst-dir via symbolic links. When src-dir can be reached via
relative paths from dst-dir, relative symbolic links are used, too. This high-level functionality is originally designed for developers to
create copies of source trees.
OPTIONS
The following command line options are available.
-v, --verbose
Display some processing information.
-t, --trace
Enable the output of the essential shell commands which are executed.
-a, --all
Really shadow all files and directories in src-dir. Default is to skip CVS related files and directories, backup files, object files,
etc.
EXAMPLE
# shell script
shtool mkshadow -v -a . /tmp/shadow
HISTORY
The GNU shtool mkshadow command was originally written by Ralf S. Engelschall <rse@engelschall.com> in 1998 for Apache. It was later
revised and taken over into GNU shtool.

shtool(1), ln(1).
