Mail not attaching the attachment when schedule in crontab
Hi ,

Iam want to send the mail with attachment , iam using below in my script
Code:
uuencode /path/pathname/filename  filename.csv | mailx -s "subject of mail" vinoth@xxx.com

when i trigger the script manually from command prompt i can get with the attachment but when i schedule it in crontab iam getting the the mail without attachment, not sure why it is behaving in two different ways for manual running and cronjob running.

Please advice me.Smilie

The error message (if any) should be in unix mail for the owner of the crontab.

If the attachment file is created within the script, make sure that it is created with the full path or it will end up in the home directory of the owner of the crontab.

Sorry I don't know where your cron on your Linux system logs its errors. Try man cron on your system. On some it will be in /var/log .

Have you looked in unix mail for the owner of the crontab (or root mail if it is a root cron).

Please post the crontab line.

Ps. Just calling your O/S Linux is like reporting a detailed fault engine with your Ford.
