Hi,

You could try this;

Code:
cat abc.log > /tmp/attacment.log
mailx -a /tmp/attachment.log -s "Todays logs $(date)" <my_email_id.com>

This should make things a bit more readable.

Regards

Dave

Hi Whizkidash,

Have I failed to understand this, in response to Srinishoo's answer - are you saying that the log file is a "Binary" file. A ".bat" file would normally be a text file - in a "Windows/DOS" environment this would normally be processed by "COMMAND.COM".

Regards

Hi Gul,

When i try with your below provided commands it goes into iterations, i.e it does not comes out of the loop.

Code:
mailx -a /tmp/attachment.log -s "Todays logs $(date)" <my_email_id.com>

Hi Srini,

I tried doing with the uuencode command earlier but its not working.

it gives me the below msg:
-bash: uuencode: command not found

Regards
Whizkid

use this

Code:

or if you want to be attachment.. mv the attachment.log to attachment.txt,

Hi Whizkidash,

What does the following command return;

Code:
file abc.log

Also you could try the command format as follows;

Code:
`mailx -s "Todays logs $(date)" -a /tmp/attachment.log <my_email_id.com>`

Let me know how you get on.

Regards

Dave
