How do I send an email attachment via KSH shell script under UNIX operating systems?
You need to use uuencode and uudecode command encode a binary file, or decode its representation. Use the following syntax to uuencodes file.zip and mails it to a user on another system.
uuencode input output | mail user@example.com uuencode filename.zip filename.zip | mail -s 'Subject' user@example.com uuencode filename.tar.gz filename.tar.gz | sendmail recipient(s) uuencode image.png image.png | mail -s 'Subject' user@example.com # Send message stored in emailbody.txt and party.jpeg as an attachment (cat emailbody.txt; uuencode party.jpeg party.jpeg) | mail -s "Subject" user@example.com |
uuencode input output | mail user@example.com
uuencode filename.zip filename.zip | mail -s ‘Subject’ user@example.com
uuencode filename.tar.gz filename.tar.gz | sendmail recipient(s)
uuencode image.png image.png | mail -s ‘Subject’ user@example.com
# Send message stored in emailbody.txt and party.jpeg as an attachment
(cat emailbody.txt; uuencode party.jpeg party.jpeg) | mail -s "Subject" user@example.com
The following example packages up a data directory, compresses it, uuencodes it and mails it to a user:
tar cf - data | compress | uuencode data-dir.tar.Z | mail -s 'Data' vivek@gite.in |
tar cf – data | compress | uuencode data-dir.tar.Z | mail -s ‘Data’ vivek@gite.in
