Using mailx and uuencode :

 (uuencode FILENAME ATTACHNAME) | mailx -ms "Subject" mail@mail

You can also use mutt.

Use cron to setup the day (notice weekday) for script execution.

crontab manual :

minute hour monthday month weekday command
weekday The day of the week, 0-6, 0=Sunday

Hi Peasant,

Mail is not a prob but...i need to send same attachment to N number of mail ids for example

if i have 3 mail ids means

07anis@gamil.com
anish@gamil.com
kumar@gmail.com

at the same time i need to send mail from server to this 3 mail ids.

i think using script we can do that..

like we need to assign all the mail ids store into one file form that we need to get input..that code only i am searching how to do that process...if you have any idea means please share..

you can add the mail ids in one command:

mailx -ms "Subject" 07anis@gamil.com, anish@gamil.com, kumar@gmail.com

hi rdcways,

for 3 mail id means this command okay but i need to send nearly 200 mail -ids then...how ?

6

set a group mailbox and add 200 ids in it.

If you are unable to do so, as rdcwayx suggested, feel free to use FOR I IN or WHILE READ LINE formulations with some kind of plaintext file with emails in.

Also something like this should work (not tested)

mailx -ms "Subject" $(cat emails.txt)

If you are using MUTT, you will find all the information online (cannot post links still don't have 5 posts :rolleyes:), it's about creating .muttrc in HOME folder and configuring it a bit.

With mailx check out the -r option.
