I tried this, and now it prints the output of the shell script. However it still doesn't attach and e-mail the file.

At the start of the print screen I get

Code:

Can't Stat

At the end I get

Code:

</html>: unable to attach file.

I have managed to get it to actually attach the file. But without and contents.

Code:
