Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting sed or awk removes attachment in email Post 303038519 by Neo on Thursday 5th of September 2019 05:26:09 AM

I suggest to you, for debugging purposes, that you pipe the output of your script to a file (or to standard out) instead of to the sendmail command.

Do this for both cases (with your awk or sed commands and without) and compare the two outputs.

Post back your results, and do not forgot to use code tags around your code and input/output text.

You will have a much easier time to debug if you look at the results of your script and compare the working and not working results, side by side, instead of just sending the output to sendmail.

That is what I would do.....

NAME
script-email - Amanda script to send email notifications DESCRIPTION
script-email is an Amanda script implementing the Script API. It should not be run by users directly. It sends a notification email to the addresses specified in the MAILTO property. PROPERTIES
This section lists the properties that control script-email's functionality. See amanda-scripts(7) for information on the Script API, script configuration. MAILTO List of email addresses that will receive an email on command execution. It is a multi-valued property: property "MAILTO" "amanda@domain.com" "sysadmin@domain.com" "amandauser@domain.com" EXAMPLE
In this example, script-email is scheduled to be run before the DLE, on the server. The unqualified email address amanda will be passed to the email system unchanged. The script is then attached to a dumptype, which can then be specified for any DLEs which require notification. define script-tool pre-email { comment "email me before this DLE is backed up" plugin "script-email" execute-on pre-dle-backup execute-where server property "mailto" "amanda" } define dumptype user-tar-email { user-tar script "pre-email" } SEE ALSO
