mail command with attachment
Hi,

We can send mail from unix with text file instead of attached the file using mailx command.

SUBJECT="Example for mailx command"
FILE="textfile"
MAIL_DL="yourmail@mail.com\,
mymail@mail.com"

you can the following command for send the mail with attachement.

mailx -s "$SUBJECT" "$FILE" "$MAIL_DL"
OR
cat mailx -s "$SUBJECT" "$FILE" "$MAIL_DL"

Thanks,
Siva.P
