#ATTACH1="$DIR/ahmed1.csv"
(
 echo "To: $MAILTO"
  echo "Subject: $SUBJECT"

echo 'Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="-bon"'
 echo
echo '---BON'
 echo "Content-Type: text/plain"
echo "Content-Disposition: inline"
 cat $BODY

For fixing the issue with blank attachment. Please perform the following modification:-

Code:
/usr/lib/sendmail $MAILTO -t -i

to
Code:
/usr/lib/sendmail -t

You can refer to RFC2045 for more information on MIME.

I tested the script with the modification that I suggested and it generated an email without a second attachment (blank). The email address is not required as an argument for sendmail because we already mentioned it in the mail header:- echo "To: $MAILTO".

For scheduling the script you can use cron.
