don't put ` back quotes inside the system function,
just try below line,
Code:
system ("mutt -a $LOGDIR asak@gmail.com < /dev/null");

Below is my standalone script to send file(filer.txt)
Code:
$LOGDIR="/home/user3/filer.txt";

$email = "asak@gmail.com";
#$a = `sudo echo | mutt -a $LOGDIR arunak@netapp.com < /dev/null`;
system (`mutt -a $LOGDIR asak@gmail.com < /dev/null`);
#system ("sh mutt -a $LOGDIR asak@gmail.com < /dev/null");
#my $cmd = "echo mutt -a $LOGDIR asak@gmail.com < /dev/null";
#my $check_ps = `$cmd`;

is there are any other way to send mail with attachments, without installing modules.

Thanks,
Asak

Hi Asak,

Hi latika & itkamaraj

i tried using system, same error i'm getting
Code:
Error sending message, child exited 67 (User unknown.).
Could not send the message.

i think, mutt cannot be run from script, in command line it works fine, any solution other than this. it'll be very helpful...

Thanks,
Asak

HI itkamaraj,

i tried both the ways, this
Code:
system(qq(mutt -a $LOGDIR asak@gmail.com) < /dev/null);

will results in syntax error
Code:
Bareword found where operator expected at att.pl line 2, near "/dev/null"
        (Missing operator before null?)
syntax error at att.pl line 2, near "/dev/null"
Execution of att.pl aborted due to compilation errors.

and executing
Code:
system(qq(mutt -a $LOGDIR asak@gmail.com < /dev/null));

will results in same error :
Code:
Error sending message, child exited 67 (User unknown.).
Could not send the message.

Any other ways??? ?

regards,
Asak

Code:
open( MUTT , "mutt -a $LOGDIR asak@gmail.com) < /dev/null |" );
close( MUTT );

or you can use exec() method
