Send attachment in Linux
Hi, I have searched the site for info on sending an attachment in Linux, have tried a few people mailx codes but to no success. Can someone please help me? This is what i have so far:
#!/bin/bash
user_mail_address="me@yahoo.com"
filename="attachment.txt"
body="This is the body"
mail -s "This is the subject" $user_mail_address $filename
How do i modify the code, so that I can add a file attachment.txt and also type something in the body of my email? Thanks.
