How attach a file using /usr/lib/sendmail
 
Hello Guys,

I am trying to attach a file while sending an email from the server (Solaris OS).

Getting the error "uuencode: not found"

Could you advise on this?

Using the command below in my script:

{
echo "SUBJECT:File Count"
echo "FROM:server name"
echo "TO:emailadd@test.com"
echo "Find attached file count"
uuencode /home/user/count_file.csv count_file.csv
} | /usr/lib/sendmail -t

thanks.

Which version of Solaris you're using? You might not using full path of the command (it should be in /usr/bin/uuencode)? Can you check:
Code:
~$ which uuencode
~$ whereis uuencode
You can then try folllowing in your script:
Code:
/path/to/uuencode  /path/to/foo.txt<space>foo.txt | mailx -s "<subject>" abc@xyz.com
OR
/usr/bin/uuencode  /path/to/foo.txt<space>foo.txt | mailx -s "<subject>" abc@xyz.com

"uuencode" is not installed in the server.

Tried after installing it..it is working fine now.

thanks.
