I want to send some email automatically, from a script. The utilities "mail" or "mailx" would do, except that I need also to attach a file. Pine has some options, but not completely.

echo "blah blah" | mutt -a photo.jpg -i hello -s "testing" \ cer@localhost Also check shelldorado.com for lots of shell examples. -- -ckm

A mixture of your sugestion and Philip's did it: echo Hola mundo | ./nail -s Hola -a ./names.c -r cer@localhost \ fido@localhost A excerpt from the man page for the archive: NAME nail - send and receive MIME conformant mail SYNOPSIS nail [-BFintv~] [-s subject] [-a attachment ] [-c cc-addr] [-b bcc-addr] [-r from-addr] [-h hops] to-addr . . . nail [-BeHiInNv~] [-T name] -f [name] nail [-BeinNv~] [-u user] DESCRIPTION Nail is an intelligent mail processing system, which has a command syntax reminiscent of ed(1) with lines replaced by messages. It is based on Berkeley Mail 8.1, is intended to provide the functionality of the POSIX.2 mailx command, and offers extensions for MIME messages, POP3 and SMTP.
Also check shelldorado.com for lots of shell examples.
I will as well, I forgot that site. Thank you! -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson

Use Perl, there are numerous ways of sending mail with attachments. Do a groups.google search for "perl mail attachments", and you will see various modules developed to do this. Here is one example: #!/usr/bin/perl -w use strict; use Mail::Sender; # How these are defined is left as an exercise to the reader my ($from, $to, $subject, $message, $file, $server); # Create our message handler ref (my $mail = new Mail::Sender { smtp => $server } ) or die "Mail error: $Mail::Sender::Error\n"; # Message header $mail->Open({ from => $from, to => $to, subject => $subject }) or die "Mail error: $Mail::Sender::Error\n"; $mail->Body; # Add the "intro" message $mail->SendLineEnc("$message\n"); # Open $file, adding contents to message open(FILE, "$file"); while(<FILE>) { $mail->SendLineEnc("$_\n"); } # Close & send message $mail->Close; #Alternately, if you wanted to send the file as and attachment, you could do: $mail->Attach({ description => 'Programming Perl 101 Syllabus', ctype => 'text/plain', encoding => '7bit', disposition => 'attachment; filename="syllabus.txt"; type="Text file"', file => 'syllabus.txt' } ); -- use Perl; #powerful programmable prestidigitation
