sending mail from AIX using mailx
Hi
I'm trying to send mail using mailx from AIX 5.3 with multiple attachments and message body. I was able to perform the activity using two different commands and there are some issues with both the commands
1.
(echo "`cat ${BASE_DIR}/mail/PMS_error.txt`"; uuencode $SCRIPTLOG PMSReleaseLog.txt && uuencode ${BASE_DIR}/errors/actualdataloaderr.txt ActualDataLoadErr.txt && uuencode ${BASE_DIR}/errors/discretedataloaderr.txt DiscretionaryDataLoadErr.txt && uuencode ${BASE_DIR}/errors/evpdataloaderr.txt EVPDataLoadErr.txt && uuencode ${BASE_DIR}/errors/targetdataloaderr.txt TargetDataLoadErr.txt && uuencode ${BASE_DIR}/errors/weightdataloaderr.txt WeightDataLoadErr.txt) | mailx -s "PMS Release - Data loaded to Essbase cube but there were errors, please check the dataload error files for the detail" bscuser1@mycom.com.tr bscuser2@mycom.com.tr
This command has an issue when a file mentioned in the uuencode is not existing it gives an error and will not proceed with sending the other file.
2.
uuencode /hyperion/Hyperion/Isbank_PMS/errors/actualdataloaderr.txt ActualDataLoadErr.txt > PMS.txt
uuencode /hyperion/Hyperion/Isbank_PMS/errors/discretedataloaderr.txt DiscretionaryDataLoadErr.txt > PMS1.txt
uuencode /hyperion/Hyperion/Isbank_PMS/errors/evpdataloaderr.txt EVPDataLoadErr.txt > PMS2.txt
uuencode /hyperion/Hyperion/Isbank_PMS/errors/targetdataloaderr.txt TargetDataLoadErr.txt > PMS3.txt
uuencode /hyperion/Hyperion/Isbank_PMS/errors/weightdataloaderr.txt WeightDataLoadErr.txt > PMS4.txt
cat /hyperion/Hyperion/Isbank_PMS/mail/PMS_error.txt PMS.txt PMS1.txt PMS2.txt PMS3.txt PMS4.txt | mailx -m -s "PMS Release - Data loaded to Essbase cube but there were errors, please check the dataload error files for the detail" bscuser1@mycom.com.tr bscuser2@mycom.com.tr
I tried this script but then it is giving me an error message
mailx: Not a recognized flag: m
3.
uuencode $SCRIPTLOG PMSReleaseLog.txt > PMS
uuencode /hyperion/Hyperion/Isbank_PMS/errors/actualdataloaderr.txt ActualDataLoadErr.txt >> PMS
uuencode /hyperion/Hyperion/Isbank_PMS/errors/discretedataloaderr.txt DiscretionaryDataLoadErr.txt >> PMS
uuencode /hyperion/Hyperion/Isbank_PMS/errors/evpdataloaderr.txt EVPDataLoadErr.txt >> PMS
uuencode /hyperion/Hyperion/Isbank_PMS/errors/targetdataloaderr.txt TargetDataLoadErr.txt >> PMS
uuencode /hyperion/Hyperion/Isbank_PMS/errors/weightdataloaderr.txt WeightDataLoadErr.txt >> PMS
cat /hyperion/Hyperion/Isbank_PMS/mail/PMS_error.txt >> PMS
cat PMS |mail -s "PMS Release - Data loaded to Essbase cube but there were errors, please check the dataload error files for the detail" bscuser1@mycom.com.tr bscuser2@mycom.com.tr
I tried to do this using another command and this is not sending the message body only attachments (but this was working previously)
Can somebody help me with this?

uuencode
uuencode(n) Text encoding & decoding binary data uuencode(n)
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
NAME
uuencode - UU-encode/decode binary data
SYNOPSIS
package require Tcl 8
package require uuencode ?1.1.4?
::uuencode::encode string
::uuencode::decode string
::uuencode::uuencode ?-name string? ?-mode octal? (-file filename | ?--? string)
::uuencode::uudecode (-file filename | ?--? string)
_________________________________________________________________
DESCRIPTION
This package provides a Tcl-only implementation of the uuencode(1) and uudecode(1) commands. This encoding packs binary data into printable
ASCII characters.
::uuencode::encode string
returns the uuencoded data. This will encode all the data passed in even if this is longer than the uuencode maximum line length. If
the number of input bytes is not a multiple of 3 then additional 0 bytes are added to pad the string.
::uuencode::decode string
Decodes the given encoded data. This will return any padding characters as well and it is the callers responsibility to deal with
handling the actual length of the encoded data. (see uuencode).
::uuencode::uuencode ?-name string? ?-mode octal? (-file filename | ?--? string)
::uuencode::uudecode (-file filename | ?--? string)
UUDecode a file or block of data. A file may contain more than one embedded file so the result is a list where each element is a
three element list of filename, mode value and data.
OPTIONS
-filename name
Cause the uuencode or uudecode commands to read their data from the named file rather that taking a string parameter.
-name string
The uuencoded data header line contains the suggested file name to be used when unpacking the data. Use this option to change this
from the default of "data.dat".
-mode octal
The uuencoded data header line contains a suggested permissions bit pattern expressed as an octal string. To change the default of
0644 you can set this option. For instance, 0755 would be suitable for an executable. See chmod(1).
EXAMPLES
% set d [uuencode::encode "Hello World!"]
2&5L;&\@5V]R;&0A
% uuencode::uudecode $d
Hello World!
% set d [uuencode::uuencode -name hello.txt "Hello World"]
begin 644 hello.txt
+2&5L;&@5V]R;&0`
`
end
% uuencode::uudecode $d
{hello.txt 644 {Hello World}}
