Linux - mailx - attachment - via script/command
Hi

I am trying to send an email using mailx with an attachment but without using uuencode.
as per man page we can use -a option.

I tried below command
Code:
 mailx -s "test" -a "/home/test/1.txt" "abc@gmail.com"

but it waits for more input and i had to press ControlD which in turns print EOT and finally email comes with attachment.

I want to avoid this manual intervention so that email can go with just a command in script.

Pls help what i need to do.

Nevermind, I was able to make it working with below.
Code:
mailx -s "test" -a "/home/test/1.txt" "abc@gmail.com" < /dev/null

See in previous command it was waiting for email body and i am able to give as above way as null

It worked fine and i got the email with attachment and empty body.
