Email with attachments in HP-UX

[Johnathon]

Writing a shell script which will auto send email to user with multiple attachments. Mail format include Sender, Reeceiver, Subject , Body text etc. Any body know the way? using sendmail or elm?

You can use the following command sequence to accomplish a binary attachment to mailx.

# uuencode binfile binfile > binfile.uu
# mailx -s &quot;subject&quot; recipient < binfile.uu

Also, more than one uu file can be prepared and appended to the message.

Hope this helps,

Thanks Carlos Almeida,
That'll will give me a encode format. I need send attachments as it is, ie need not to decode. I realise the following command will to that :
uuencode file file | sendmail xxxx@XXX.com
But how to change the From:, Subject: and insert in the boby messages? and the way to send multiple files as one go.

You can write a &quot;script&quot; to format attachments to be MIME compliant and then use &quot;sendmail&quot; so you don't need to decode them, if you want you can check a shell script already done at:

Hi Johnathon,
You are looking for this.
uuencode filename filename | mailx -m -s &quot;Subject is ...&quot; my.name@my.company.com

This will send your filename as attachment. Don't forget -m and filename twice.

Hi Sachin,
Thanks. it work, but i need to change the From field , likely to have ability to write some body text.

I tried out Carlos Almeida's way, it work fine with a single attachment. Two attachments and more will results in some attachment appear in encoded format.
Carlos Almeida, do u know why?
