this is what i got with uname -a ....
Code:
HP-UX serverName B.11.31 U ia64 3073994272 unlimited-user license

.. Can you please tell how I can get text body in same email along with attachments ?

I have tried
Code:
(uuencode $HOME_DIR/first.sh first.sh ; uuencode $HOME_DIR/cd_test.sh cd_test.sh ; echo  $HOME_DIR) | mailx -m -s "testing email" ravi@xx.com

... it is not working ..

If i had the text body in a file , cat command might have worked , but i do not have as such . also tried

Code:
(uuencode $HOME_DIR/first.sh first.sh ; uuencode $HOME_DIR/cd_test.sh cd_test.sh) | mailx -m -s "testing email" ravi@xx.com <<EOF
$HOME_DIR
EOF

Have you tried this variation (some licence taken on the output format):
The only real difference is that the email body should appear before the attachments.
Code:
(echo "Testing email body content ${HOME_DIR}" ; uuencode ${HOME_DIR}/first.sh first.sh ; uuencode ${HOME_DIR}/cd_test.sh cd_test.sh) | mailx -m s "testing email" ravi@xx.com

Ps. It always helps to know what the final output should look like.
