Hi, I am trying to automate the emailing of a report created on Solaris
8. Currently I used the following:
mailx -s 'Subject' xxx@xxxxxxx.com < report.txt
The problem with the above is that the report is sent as part of the
email rather than an attachment.
I would like to know how to send the report as an attachment. Please
let me know how.
Many thanks in advance.

Checkout mimencode. It is more robust than uuencode.
Hi,
Thanks a lot. What I found in

Many thanks again.

Joanne,
I use "mutt" for this sort of thing - See http://www.mutt.org

Try this one :
( cat mail_message.txt; uuencode attachment_file_name
attachment_file_name ) | mailx -s "Subject" to@address.com
where mail_message.txt contains the text you want in the body of the
mail.

Hi, I guess I never opened the attachment previously. I happened to
check today and noticed that the attachment is not right at all. It is
a much smaller size file containing all junks. I am wondering what is
wrong with the following:
(echo "This is an automated report that runs on the 16th of every month
at 9:00
GMT."
uuencode /usr/home/oracle/ mydatabase_info.txt
) | mailx -s 'Stats for ewdevl' myname@mycompany.com
Many thanks,
Joanne

The arguments to uuencode should be filenames, not directories.
If the filename " mydatabase_info.txt" begins with a space, quote it
(and slap whoever thought of that name).
