UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

Hi all.
Urgent help required. I am trying to send and HTML/PNG fromat graph from UNIX using sendmail. The graph needs to be in the body of the HTML email and NOT an attachment.

Any ideas and help will be really appreciated.

Best regards,
Willz

you need to put the png file in some of the location, so that, you can access it through a URL

eg : http://ipaddress.com/somefolder ( use any httpdocs if you installed apache in your server )

and provide the URL in your html code

Code:

<img src = "http://bla...bla....">

Hi Itkamaraj
Thanks for the reply.
I have tried img src = 'and pointed it to a unix location'
It send a blank email with the red 'X', like the one we see when the image can not be loaded.
I am sending the email from UNIX to a windows email address.
Thanks once a gain, really appreciate the help ths far.
Enjoy the rest of the day.

I have tried img src = 'and pointed it to a unix location'

This will not work ( if you provided the location as /home/user/abc/xyz.png

the link you provided should be access through the normal web browser also. ( it should be accessed by everyone )

Hi,
Even if its just a .gif thats static?
Basically I just want to copy and paste the mage into the email like i would do if sending the mail from windows.
Sorry for all the questions, you have been a great help thus far.

no, you cant do like that..

you need a proper url and give that url link in <img> tag.

Hi,
I am using SAS to create the PNG and it saves the file in my UNIX home direcctory.
I am not doing it from a WEB development persepective, I want to acomplish this purely from UNIX, as well I dont have access to the website to add the image to the repository. Basically my SAS code runs in a batch job on a UNIX box.

Now I am really sorry.
Thanks though, really appreciate it.
