attach file using mailx 1

[new2me]

anyone know how I can ATTACH couple of files using mailx?

I know using the following will send a single file as part of the mail. mailx -s attached to.me@thissite.com < file1

Thank-you in advance.

If you want to include a little message, you can do something like...
[tt]
#!/bin/ksh

export TO=[ignore]someone@somewhere.com[/ignore]
export FILE=myfile.dat

( cat <<-MSG
Hi There,

Please find the attached file ${FILE} as of $(date).

Cheers.
MSG
uuencode ${FILE} ${FILE}
) | mailx -s "${FILE} as of $(date)" ${TO}
[/tt]
You can even have multiple attachments by just adding more [tt]uuencode[/tt] lines, one for each file.

Hope this helps.
