Shell Programming and Scripting

Greetings all,

I'm pretty new to the use of mailx, having been using mutt most of the time. I'm interested to know how I can use mailx within a shell script to send out a formatted email with the following criterion:

1. My recipient's address is abcdef1000@gmail.com
2. The message body is stored in a file msgbody.txt
3. The subject header is "Welcome new user"
4. 2 files (text-based files, already created with nano) named first.log and second.log will have to be sent out as attachments along with this mail.
5. There is a need to CC the email to myself.

May I know how this can be achieved? Am having quite a lot of trouble figuring out how to place this within a KSH script.

Thanks in advance.

try using mailx. Look at the man page for details.

Am sure .. ( very much )

there had been so many thread and replies in this forum about using mailx, attachments, subject, CC ing, uuencode and pretty much all the details about using mailx in script.
