Here's what I'm trying to do,

I want to set something up so when my Redhat 7 machine boots up it automatically sends an email (with an attachment) to my email address.

The best way I could think of is to have it just as one big command line. With PINE I found I could do:

pine superspud@hotmail.com -attach /home/lesath/filename

but then it still won't automatically send the email and exit pine.

If anyone has an idea, it'd be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

you would have to right a bash script.

this (unless you didn;t know) is a sort of programming language for bash. you can writ one to do what your need then add it to the start up sequence. unfortunatly im not that good at script writing (only just started learning C)so maybe some one else here might write you one or you might want to take a go yourself (its very useful).

i think you just need to put the above command you used to send the mail then have below that: killall pine

im not sure though

sorry that was useless

This may work for you:
mail -s "I just booted" superspud@hotmail.com < /home/lesath/filename

It doesn't attach the file; the content of the email will be the file.

Cool, worked great. Thanks a lot guys!
