Hi

I have input file in solaris machine and my question is..,how to send email that input file to Microsoft outlook 2010 in excel /xls format.

Use some CSV format. Use the semicolon ';' as field separator,
so MS Excel could open the file .csv directly.
Then use uuencode and mailx to send the file as an attachment:

uuencode <filename> <filename> | mailx -s 'your subject' mail@address ...

Thanks for reply i tried what you posted here but after running the syntax it took longer time and if i enter ctrl+c i got below output and also got email with just subject with out attachment.

please see below input and output

Input: bash-3.2$ uuencode /users/input.txt | mailx -s test  xxx@exa.com
^C
(Interrupt -- one more to kill letter)

radoulov clearly mentioned to pass file name twice to uuencode also use -m option with mailx

uuencode /users/input.txt input.txt | mailx -m -s test xxx@exa.com

You need to put the filename twice (the second one is the name of the email attachment), eg:

uuencode /users/input.txt input.txt | mailx -s test  xxx@exa.com

Once you do this, the command should not hang.
