I have a system that generates PDFs, and I want to mail them back the user (whose name I have access to in the script). Currently I am just sending a mail to them with a link to the location of the file. Does anybody know how I would accomlish this ? I have messed around with the mailto command, and I think I even got it to send a PDF when in interactive mode, but that will not do. I also tried : $ echo "Your PDF is ready\n~*\n ..etc" | mailto <user> -s '<subject>' Anyone know how to do this ?
