Korn Shell code to send attachments with mailx and uuencode?
- by Nano Taboada
I need to attach a file with mailx but at the moment I'm not having a lot of success.
Here's my code:
subject="Something happened"
to="somebody@somewhere.com"
body="Attachment Test"
attachment=/path/to/somefile.csv
uuencode $attachment | mailx -s "$subject" "$to" << EOF
The message is ready to be sent with the following file or link attachments:
somefile.csv
Note: To protect against computer viruses, e-mail programs may prevent
sending or receiving certain types of file attachments. Check your
e-mail security settings to determine how attachments are handled.
EOF
Any feedback would be highly appreciated.
Update
I've added the attachment var to avoid having to use the path every time.
