Email attachmant in tcl

[Carl Duff]

We send emails and pages via tcl for monitoring of most of our production threads and it works fine.

I now need to be able to send a text file as an attachment to the emails and can’t seem to make it work. If anyone has a simple example or information they’d be willing to share it would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance for any information provided!!

Carl,  

We are on 3.8.1 on HP-UX.  Here is what I came up with.  This attaches a unix text file, adds .txt to it to the file name, and a windows email client will see that it has a text mime type.  Attachement filename below would be in.12345.txt.

Code:

#list of addresses to send the message to
set emaillist “scott@st-claire.org cloveradmin@st-claire.org”

#body of the email message
set msg “This is the text in the body of the message”

#file to be attached to the email
set filename “in.12345”
set tmpfile “/tmp/$filename”

#unix commands to use
set ux2dos “/usr/bin/ux2dos”
set uuencode “/usr/bin/uuencode”
set mailx “/usr/bin/mailx”

exec $ux2dos $tmpfile | $uuencode $filename.txt | $mailx -ms “This is the subject linen$msg” $emaillist

#optional – remove the original file
exec rm $tmpfile

HTH,

Scott
