I still seem to be having a problem with the attachment actually containing any data. The script runs sending an e-mail with an HTML file attached, however when I open the HTML file it is blank. Below is what my script currently looks like.

Code:

#!/bin/bash
# ===================================================================== #
#      BACKUP SCRIPT WITH SYSTEM INFORMATION    #
#       SCRIPT CREATED 15/11/2012      #

#      VARIABLES THAT CAN BE USED IN THE SCRIPT     #

# SPECIFY THE CONTENT OF THE E-MAIL TO BE SENT
MAILCONTENT="files"
# SETS THE MAXIMUM SIZE OF THE E-MAIL 4000 = +/- 5MB
MAXATTSIZE="4000"
# E-MAIL ADDRESS WHERE THE E-MAIL WILL BE SENT
MAILADDR="myemail@mydomain.com"
# DEFINE THE E-MAIL BODY
SUBJECTFILE=$BACKUPDIR/sqldump.txt
# CREATE THE FILE TO ATTACH

function drive_space
{
    echo "<h2>Filesystem Space</h2>"
    df -h
}
# ---- END OF DRIVE SPACE ---- #
 
function backup_size
{
    echo "<h2>Backup Size</h2>"
    du -h _sqldump.sh
}
# ---- END OF BACKUP SIZE ---- #

{

    echo "function additional_function"
}
# ---- END OF ADDITIONAL FUNCTIONS ---- #

{

  <p></p>
  $(drive_space)
  $(backup_size)

}
# ===================================================================== #
#    GATHERS INFORMATION AND SEND MESSAGE ATTACHMENT    #

if [ "$MAILCONTENT" = "files" ]
 then
 mutt -s " System Status $DATE" -a $ATTACHMENT -- $MAILADDR < $SUBJECTFILE
fi
 
exit 0

service

service(8)						      System Manager's Manual							service(8)

NAME

       service - run a System V init script

SYNOPSIS

       service SCRIPT COMMAND [OPTIONS]

       service --status-all

       service --help | -h | --version

DESCRIPTION

       service runs a System V init script in as predictable environment as possible, removing most environment variables and with current working
       directory set to /.

       The SCRIPT parameter specifies a System V init script, located in /etc/init.d/SCRIPT.  The  supported  values  of  COMMAND  depend  on  the
       invoked	script,  service  passes  COMMAND and OPTIONS it to the init script unmodified.  All scripts should support at least the start and
       stop commands.  As a special case, if COMMAND is --full-restart, the script is run twice, first with the stop command, then with the  start
       command.

       service --status-all runs all init scripts, in alphabetical order, with the status command.

       If the init script file does not exist, the script tries to use legacy actions.	If there is no suitable legacy action found and COMMAND is
       one of actions specified in LSB Core Specification, input is redirected to the systemctl.  Otherwise the command fails with return code 2.

FILES

       /etc/init.d
	      The directory containing System V init scripts.

ENVIRONMENT

       LANG, TERM
	      The only environment variables passed to the init scripts.

SEE ALSO

       chkconfig(8), ntsysv(8), systemd(1), systemctl(8), systemd.service(5)
