You create a gzip-archive and write
I do not know what you mean by that but I suppose you want to attach that gzip-archive to the mail?
If this is the problem, you might either want to post your error output since you do not show how you try to attach it or just search this forum for strings like "mail attachment uuencode".
Sorry for confusion.
I mean .gz file(archive file). I am sending a mail from shell script by attaching this archive fail*xxxx.tar.gz). But when i tried to open with zip software I get an error as "not a valid archive file"
pls provide the script which s used for sending mail.........!
I resolved.
Would be nice to tell it what it was so other people having similar problems might benefit of your answer here.
