Shell Programming and Scripting

Hi there,

I am trying to send emails from within a shell script, and I need help. Also I am trying to send attachments from within a shell script. I am using sendmail.

Regards

Search the forums - questions about mail/mailx and sending attachments have been asked many times. It is such a common question that a FAQ entry has been created for it.

Cheers

Hi zazzybob,

I already have a solution using another package other than sendmail. I am looking for something similar using sendmail. I have looked on the internet yesterday, although I collected a lot of information but not the thing I want. If you can direct me to any place that you know I'll will be grateful to you.

Regards
Jim

If you're using sendmail as your MTA, then you need an MUA - pine/elm etc are graphical interfaces - you can use mail/mailx, as I said, to do provide a means of sending e-mail via sendmail (if your system is configured to use sendmail as its mail transfer agent - which I assume it is) from within scripts and at the command line. The FAQ entry given above will show you how to do it.

If you need any more assistance it might be helpful to post your script using the "other package".

Cheers
ZB
