Using a script to send a file to email address

kopite · 06-16-2008, 09:29 AM

Hi,

I am having problems atm. Basically I have a script that pulls system logs from a router and puts them into a file. I want to then send an email with this file to an eamil address.

My server has EXIM4 running for email. I can send an email out fine but i`m not sure how to send a file as an attachment.

Any help wouyld be most welcome.

You can use mutt with option -a to send an attachment, as in

Code:

mutt -s $SUBJECT -a $FILE $E_MAIL < /dev/null

or uuenview, as in

Code:

uuenview -m $E_MAIL -s $SUBJECT -a $FILE < /dev/null

Will using mutt or uuenview cause any problems for EXIM?

It shouldn't. If so, it is a bug.
