UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

You have to tell us more about the criterias :
How do we know to which developer which bad file should be sent ?

Should the name of the developer be extracted from the absolute name of the bad entry ?

If so could you please provide an example of the content of /home/mydir/badfile.txt ?

Otherwise, please clarify

we are not extracting the name from any where. e.g i will put my email. in badfile.txt it shows only the file name not the actual data file. we are not moving the file from BASE DIR. but in the current requirment we have to attached the actual files which shows by badfile to the email. the files we can find in the BASE DIR. the code i have is checks the comma delimeter of the columns. if its find there comma missing puts the file name in the badfile.txt and if its not put the file name inthe goodfile.txt.

Do you have an example of content of badfile.txt ?

Code:

(       echo "To: username@host"
        echo "From: otheruser@host"
        echo "Subject: subject"
        echo
        while read LINE
        do
                sed 's/$/\r/' "$LINE" | uuencode "$LINE"
        done < badfiles.txt )  | sendmail ...

I don't mean to be a stick in the mud but mutt does have a "-a" option for specifying file attachments.

uuencode isn't universally supported so sending MIME attachments is probably for the best unless you're operating under some kind of constraint.

mutt is an interactive mailer however; there may not always be a human there to push the keys. It can be coerced into behaving automatically but only under great duress.

some versions of uuencode support the -m option, to encode in base64 instead.
