----------------------------
Urgent- as i have to send the report ... now.. pls..

Don't demand urgent help. This isn't urgent for us.

I'm not sure what you really expect us to tell you... you need less content. You can compress it, that may well help you, so run it through gzip between the uuencode and the mailx commands.

[QUOTE=acid_kewpie;4613942]Don't demand urgent help. This isn't urgent for us.

Apologies for that . Thanks for your reply. i am new to this- so to confirm : check my below code is that fine?

uuencode SAC_Tire.xlsx SAC_Tire.xls > UCD_test.xls

gzip

mailx -s "SAC Weekly Tire Report" -r "Prasanna" `cat /home/achakra/Prasanna/Auto/mailpcp1.dat` < UCD_test.xls

----------------------------

you can't just run "gzip"... what do you expect it to do??


uuencode SAC_Tire.xlsx SAC_Tire.xls > UCD_test.xls

gzip UCD_test.xls

mailx -s "SAC Weekly Tire Report" -r "Prasanna" `cat /home/achakra/Prasanna/Auto/mailpcp1.dat` < UCD_test.xls.gz

hi have executed below code- the attachment is getting zipped in my directory, but i am not receiving any mail,below is my code
-------
cd '/home/achakra/Prasanna/Auto'
nohup bteq <xn_sac_wk11.bteq> sac_tire.out 2>&1 &
wait

/opt/sas/SAS_9.1/sasexe/sas sac_tire.sas
wait

uuencode SAC_Tire.xls SAC_Tire.xls >UCD_Test.xls

gzip SAC_Tire.xls

mailx -s "SAC Weekly Tire Report" -r "Prasanna" `cat /home/achakra/Prasanna/Auto/mailpcp1.dat` < SAC_Tire.xls.gz
----------------------------------

Check the size of the SAC_Tire.xls.gz file.
You have several options

1. reduce amt of data in each file, even if this means sending multiple files
2. use the gzip compression option -1 to -9 to increase compression efficiency ( -9 is best compression)
http://linux.die.net/man/1/gzip
3. get your email admins to increase your attachment size allowance
4. try http://linux.die.net/man/1/bzip2 as an alternative; it has the same options eg -1 to -9 to increase compression. You may(!) get better compression ... or not ...

The size of zipped attachment is 700kb- But it has not attached.
will try above options- what you have mentioned. is the above code- correct(whatever i tried to execute)?

try these http://www.unix.com/unix-advanced-ex...ing-mailx.html

I tried both gzip and bzip -- My email attachment(one file- that has 15mb) is being zipped to 500kb - in my directory as SAC_Tire.xls.gz.But I didn't receive any mail .. not sure where i am making the mistake .. (when i try sending a smaller sized attachment without zipping- i got mail with attachment)

gzip -9 SAC_Tire.xls

mailx -s "SAC Weekly Tire Report" -r "Prasanna" `cat /home/achakra/Prasanna/Auto/mailpcp1.dat` < SAC_Tire.xls.gz
--------------------------------------------------
there is no error in logfile.?? not sure what is the mistake- can u help on this

Forget all the other code; just test the mailx line.
Try the example from post #4 in my prev link http://www.unix.com/unix-advanced-ex...ing-mailx.html

uuencode -m SAC_Tire.xls.gz SAC_Tire.xls.gz | mail -s "SAC Weekly Tire Report" Mailid@yahoo.com

now i get a mail with no attachment- but the Body of the mail has some junk characters written to it-- without subjectline

Ugh, sorry, of course you wouldn't want to gzip AFTER the uuencode... sorry just about never ever used uuencode.

now, i am confused??.. pls. validate my code ??
