Sending mail with attachment from a shell script

[Cristian Gheorghe]

Hello,

I am trying to use mutt in order to be able to send e-mail notifications
in regards to the nightly source code builds that I am doing. Something
to the extent of "Build Failed", see attached file.

I can see how to attach a file, specify the address, subject, etc. It's
just that if I want to do this from the command line without going
inside the interface I can not.

mutt -y [EMAIL PROTECTED] -s "Build Failed" -a ./build.log

To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Is there any way I can do this from a script without having to go inside
the actual interface?


Thanks,

Cristian

 -y is for interactive use.

 mutt  -s "Build Failed" -a ./build.log [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Yes.  Just give mutt the message's body on stdin, and don't use -y.
That is, do something like this:

mutt -s "build failed" [EMAIL PROTECTED] < ./build.log
mutt -s "build failed" [EMAIL PROTECTED] -a build.log < body.txt

HTH.

I am using somethin like echo "message body" | mutt -x -a attach.file -s "eh,
subject" [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I dunno if -x is what you want, neither if it's required in the firt place :)
just figured that it works so I use it.
