Automating Mail Process
Hi rabatte
Script is able to send mail with single attachment but when it comes to multiple attachments.it is unable to do so.Have a look and share your thoughts.

Code which i am using is code:
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"

Thanks
Rajnikant

    BODY_FILE="/home/sreenivasa/Desktop/Testing.txt"
    CC_LIST="rajnikant875@gmail.com,sinha6315@gmail.com,rajnikant@gytechs.com"
    cat "$BODY_FILE" | mail -s "$SUBJECT" -a "$ATTACHMENT_FILE" "$CC_LIST"
done

Hi balajesuri
for loop is working but it is sending all the attachment one by one.Can we modify it in a way that it send all the attachment in a single mail.please share your thought.

Thanks

Hi Don Cragun
Here is another piece of code but problem here is, it send all attachments one by one, not all at time.
Code:
#!/bin/bash
for ATTACHMENT_FILE in /home/sreenivasa/Desktop/ATTACHMENTS/* 
do
    SUBJECT="linux mail send attachment example"
    BODY_FILE="/home/sreenivasa/Desktop/Testing.txt"
    CC_LIST="rajnikant875@gmail.com,sinha6315@gmail.com,rajnikant@gytechs.com"
    mail -s "$SUBJECT" -a $ATTACHMENT_FILE "$CC_LIST" < "$BODY_FILE" 
done

Can u share your idea to make it better.
Thanks
Rajnikant
