Shell Programming and Scripting

Hi all,

Currently in shell script i am using the following command to send mail

Code:

echo "Certain assets are not loaded properly. PFA the result of the DataLoad" | mail -s "Weekly DataLoad - Failure Notification !!" $MAILINGLIST

I need to attach a file along with that. How should i handle this in my mail command.

Thanks in advance.


Thanks,

Search the forum for uuencode please. There should be plenty of examples.

I tried using the following command

Code:

uuencode $outputFile | echo "Test mail" | mail -s "Mail notification" $MAILINGLIST

But i m getting only the mail but not the attached file.

Also that script is not stopping. It is running with out end.

suggest some solutions

try;

Code:

uuencode $outputFile $outputFile | mailx -m -s "Mail notification" "$MAILINGLIST"

As said, there are many post you can find using the search function of the forum. It should have brought something like:

Code:

(echo "this is the mail body"; uuencode myfile myfile)| mail -s "subject in here" jupp@bla.com

i tried with mailx. But i got mailx not found.

so tried the following command

uuencode $outputFile $outputFile | mail -s "Mail notification" "$MAILINGLIST"

mail came with attachments.

The issue i am facing is if my $outputFile = /opt/shared/result.txt, the file name in the attachment is named as optsharedresult.txt. Is there any option to configure the file name?

Also for bringing in the mail content i tried with the following code:

uuencode $outputFile $outputFile | echo "Certain assets are not loaded properly. PFA" | mail -s "Mail notification" "$MAILINGLIST"

but with this attachment mail body is coming but my attachment is not coming.

Please clarify.

uuencode $outputFile $outputFile

the second argument is the destination filename itself.
you can change it to anything.

uuencode $outputFile my_new_file
