Currently, i am not getting the text file attachment.

Quote:

echo -e "complete" | mailx -s "process complete" -a ${OUTFILE} ${email}

and did you get any error message?
did you check your script with shellcheck?

File is getting attached. Manually need to open. Instead need the text file attaced.

You want to join it to the body text?

Code:

( echo -e "complete"; cat ${OUTFIE} ) | mailx -s "process complete" ${email}

Note that both sides of the pipe run in a sub shell.
Even a { command group } is forced into a sub shell

Code:

{ cat ${OUTFIE}; echo "complete"; } | mailx -s "process complete" ${email}
