Shell Programming and Scripting
1

Hi,

Our requirement is to send an attachment and content in a single mail. I am using the below command to send attachement.

---------------------
(uuencode $exp_file $exp_file) |mailx -s "$email_subject" $EmailRecipients
--------------------

I m not able to send any message in the body.i want to send a message as well regarding the script name and other details in the body along with the attachment.

Can anyone help me to do that so that in one mail i can send the attachment and also some details regarding the script in body.

Thanks in advance

To add the body, you can try this:

(printf "%s\n%s\n" "$body" "$body1"; uuencode $exp_file $exp_file) |mailx -s "$email_subject" $EmailRecipients
