Well file contents are part of the mail body, so I dont think I have cron deamon needs any info like that.
Please find below the code am using to perform this activity
Shell Script Code
----------------
emailText=/tmp/msgTxt.log
echo "" > $emailText
echo "Log Report" >> $emailText
echo "" >> $emailText
cat `ls -1tr /home/testadmin/testdir/test.log* | tail -1` >> $emailText
RECIPIENTS=testadmin@info.com
SUBJECT="Log Report Generated on "`date +%d-%m-%Y`"
MAILFILE=$emailText
echo "Sending email..."
echo To: $RECIPIENTS > yy
echo From: "$machineName" >> yy
echo Subject: $SUBJECT >> yy
echo MIME-Version: 1.0 >> yy
echo "Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary=MC" >> yy
echo --MC>> yy
echo "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit" >> yy
echo "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1" >> yy
cat $MAILFILE >> yy
/usr/lib/sendmail $RECIPIENTS < yy
rm yy
rm $emailText
echo "Done!"
exit 0
This is want is been done in the shell script.
When the script is executed manually I am getting corret mail with mail body containing the "test.log" contents. BUt when executed by a cron job, the email body is missing the test.log contents.
Please advice were am I wrong.
Thanks & Regards,
Anshul

atrm(1) General Commands Manual atrm(1) NAME
atrm - Removes jobs spooled by at SYNOPSIS
atrm [-a] [-f | -i] [job_number...] | [user...] The atrm command removes jobs that were created with the at command. OPTIONS
Removes all jobs belonging to the person invoking atrm. If invoked by a privileged user, all jobs on the queue are removed. Suppresses the printing of all information about the jobs being removed. Prompts before a job is removed; a response of y, or the locale's equivalent of y, causes the job to be removed. Obsolete version of -a. DESCRIPTION
If one or more job numbers is specified, atrm attempts to remove only those jobs. If one or more usernames is specified, all jobs belonging to those users are removed. This form of invoking atrm is useful only if you have superuser authority. EXAMPLES
To remove job number 62169200.a, created by user chinn, from the queue created by the at command, enter: atrm chinn.62169200.a Note that specifies an at job for sh. (.f specifies an at job for csh, and specifies an at job for ksh.) FILES
Main cron directory. List of allowed users. List of denied users. Spool area. Queue description file for at, batch, and cron. SEE ALSO
Commands: at(1), atq(1), cron(8) Files: queuedefs(4) atrm(1)
