Zip an excel file and email using script.
Hi All,

Currently i am using below script to attach excel and email from a Unix script.
uuencode ASC.xls|mailx -m -s "ABCD_subject`TZ=CST+24 date +%d-%b-%y`" email@email.com

Can anyone give me or help me in zipping excel and sending that email as the excel is very heavy.

Thanks,

I normally use something like:

Code:
cat << ! | mailx ......
Message body goes here
$(gzip -c ASC.xls | uuencode ASC.xls.gz)
!

All you've done here is compress your file cnt into a file called ASC.xls and sent that as an attachment. "HI ALL" is in the attachment!

That's not quite how I described it.
