UUENCODE command does not work in Linux

Hi All,

We just migrated from Sun unix box to Redhat Linux 5.5 (CentOS). One of my email script that attaches a log file and send email. This script used to work on sun box but does not work on Linux.
The script uses UUENCODE command(code below). This works in Sun box but not in Linux.

Is there an alternative an UUENCODE in linux?

Code:
An snapshot from my code.....
 
(cat ${EMAILMESSAGE}; uuencode ./File1.zip File1_${PROCDATE1}.zip) | mail -s "Log file for ${PROCDATE1}" ${Email_Addr}
 
This used to work in Sun but not on Linux

HTML Code:
Getting an error:
 
LogEmail.sh: line 44: uuencode: not found

uuencode is often considered optional since it's not generally used these days. Just install it. It's part of "sharutils".
