mailx every file in directory
Hi all,

I know how to use the uuencode/mailx commands to mail a single file within a directory, e.g.

uuencode file.dat file.dat | mailx joe.smith@mail.com

but now, i need to be able to mail every file within the directory with one command, any ideas?

thanks
Smilie

First you have to tar the directory to be able to do that. Then mail the tar ball as attachment. If you need to do this in a 1 line statement then maybe you can create a shell script as wrapper to this and use the shell script as command.
