If you not happy with uuencode attachments you can use some sort of command line mime encoder instead of uuencode... -----Original Message----- From: Dib, Allan L [mailto:Dib.Allan.L@edumail.vic.gov.au] Sent: Friday, November 10, 2000 12:53 PM To: 'freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG' Subject: Sending an attachment from the command line Hiya everyone, I currently use the very useful 'mail' command from the command line and from scripts to e-mail output of a progam. An example: ls|mail -s "hello" dib.allan.l@edumail.vic.gov.au will e-mail me the output of the 'ls' command with a subject line "hello". I need to be able to e-mail a given (binary) file as an attachmentment with a similar kind command. I have had no luck with man pages for either sendmail or the 'mail' command. For example how would I e-mail someone the file /home/allan/test.tar.gz with one command line. If anyone could help me with this it would be greatly appreciated. ------_=_NextPart_001_01C04B16.36DBFF48 Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1" <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> <TITLE>Sending an attachment from the command line</TITLE> <META content="MSHTML 5.00.2314.1000" name=GENERATOR></HEAD> <BODY> <DIV><FONT color=#0000ff face="Courier New"><SPAN class=701215912-10112000>The simple solution is:</SPAN></FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT color=#0000ff face="Courier New"><SPAN class=701215912-10112000>uuencode <YourFile> <YourFile> | mail -s "<YourFile>" <YourAddress>.</SPAN></FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT color=#0000ff face="Courier New"><SPAN class=701215912-10112000>If you not happy with uuencode attachments you can use some sort of command line mime encoder instead of <FONT color=#0000ff face="Courier New"><SPAN class=701215912-10112000>uuencode...</SPAN></FONT></SPAN></FONT></DIV> <BLOCKQUOTE style="BORDER-LEFT: #0000ff 2px solid; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 5px"> <DIV align=left class=OutlookMessageHeader dir=ltr><FONT face=Tahoma size=2>-----Original Message-----<BR><B>From:</B> Dib, Allan L [mailto:Dib.Allan.L@edumail.vic.gov.au]<BR><B>Sent:</B> Friday, November 10, 2000 12:53 PM<BR><B>To:</B> 'freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG'<BR><B>Subject:</B> Sending an attachment from the command line<BR><BR></DIV></FONT> <P><FONT size=2>Hiya everyone,</FONT> </P> <P><FONT size=2>I currently use the very useful 'mail' command from the command line and from scripts to e-mail output of a progam.
