attaching the file to mail
Hi,
In my script, i am using tar to combine 2 files, so that i can attach it to the mail.
everything is working fine and sending the mail successfully. But, when i save the file to desktop and unzip it.
a series of directories are there and finally those tar files are there.
i am using tar -cf $abc/zipped_file file1.xls file2.xls
after sending mail, when i open it, the complete path in abc and then zipped_file is there.
but i want when i unzip it, the resultent file should be on desktop.

please help.

Tools Perhaps an issue with whatever tool used on PC side
From what you describe, you are unzipping the file(s) on the PC. Most PC zip programs have settings to control where unzipped files go. Perhaps it is there that you should look. (Each program will be different.)
