Automating Mail Process
Hi Don Cragun

1. i ran the script with echo keyboard inside the script as u instructed and it is unable to send the mail,it just displays the files inside that Folder.
Code:
/sreenivasa@UIPL08:~/Desktop$ ./Experiment1.sh
#mail -s linux mail send attachment example  -a "/home/sreenivasa/Desktop/ATTACH/Arduino.doc" -a "/home/sreenivasa/Desktop/ATTACH/Bug.jpg" -a "/home/sreenivasa/Desktop/ATTACH/Bugzilla.pdf" -a "/home/sreenivasa/Desktop/ATTACH/Dataset.zip" -a "/home/sreenivasa/Desktop/ATTACH/diet.jpg" -a "/home/sreenivasa/Desktop/ATTACH/Raj.txt" -a "/home/sreenivasa/Desktop/ATTACH/RFQ.xlsx"  rajnikant875@gmail.com,sinha6315@gmail.com,rajnikant@gytechs.com

2. And when i use the same script with single attachment it will send mail with that particular attachment.

3. When i ran same script without echo keyword,it displays output something as:
Code:
sreenivasa@UIPL08:~/Desktop$ ./Experiment1.sh
 -a "/home/sreenivasa/Desktop/ATTACH/Arduino.doc" -a "/home/sreenivasa/Desktop/ATTACH/Bug.jpg" -a "/home/sreenivasa/Desktop/ATTACH/Bugzilla.pdf" -a "/home/sreenivasa/Desktop/ATTACH/Dataset.zip" -a "/home/sreenivasa/Desktop/ATTACH/diet.jpg" -a "/home/sreenivasa/Desktop/ATTACH/Raj.txt" -a "/home/sreenivasa/Desktop/ATTACH/RFQ.xlsx": No such file or directory

4. i tried using mailx,uuencode but none of them are working with multiple attachment.But for loop is able to attach all the files from ATTACHMENTS folder.

5. Please share your input.


Thank U
Rajnikant

The code which i am using is:
Code:
/#!/bin/bash
ATTACHMENT_DIR="/home/sreenivasa/Desktop/ATTACH"
ATTACHMENTS=
BODY_FILE="/home/sreenivasa/Desktop/Testing.txt"
SUBJECT="linux mail send attachment example"
TO_LIST="rajnikant875@gmail.com,sinha6315@gmail.com,rajnikant@gytechs.com"

# Gather list of attachments:
for file in "$ATTACHMENT_DIR"/*
do    [ ! -f "$file" ] && continue
    ATTACHMENTS="$ATTACHMENTS -a \"$file\""
done

# Send the message.
mail -s "$SUBJECT"  "$ATTACHMENTS" "$TO_LIST" < "$BODY_FILE"

gvfs-trash

GVFS-TRASH(1)							   User Commands						     GVFS-TRASH(1)

NAME

       gvfs-trash - Move files or directories to the trash

SYNOPSIS

       gvfs-trash [OPTION...] [LOCATION...]

DESCRIPTION

       gvfs-trash sends files or directories to the "Trashcan". This can be a different folder depending on where the file is located, and not all
       file systems support this concept. In the common case that the file lives inside a users home directory, the trash folder is
       $XDG_DATA_HOME/Trash.

       Note that moving files to the trash does not free up space on the file system until the "Trashcan" is emptied. If you are interested in
       deleting a file irreversibly, see gvfs-rm.

       Inspecting and emptying the "Trashcan" is normally supported by graphical file managers such as nautilus, but you can also see the trash
       with the command gvfs-ls trash://.

OPTIONS

       The following options are understood:

       -h, --help
	   Prints a short help text and exits.

       -f, --force
	   Ignore nonexistent and non-deletable files.

       --empty
	   Empty the trash.

EXIT STATUS

       On success 0 is returned, a non-zero failure code otherwise.
