Using sendmail to send a file

[Ati2ude]

I am trying to do something with KSH that I am not sure will work. I want to determine if a file is zero byte, if not attach it to an e-mail and send it to myself.

I have used the sendmail prog before but not in this depth.

Example of what I have done:
/usr/sbin/sendmail -f$from -t < $mailfile >/dev/null

Any help would be appreciated.

[ -s $mailfile ] && echo "$mailfile not empty" ]

Hope This Helps, PH.

Thanks for the quick reply!

So is this syntax correct??
/usr/sbin/sendmail -f$from -s$myfile -t < $mailfile >/dev/null

$mailfile = a log I have compiled thru-out the script to write the text to the e-mail.

$myFile = the file I want to send to the myself.
