Re: Mailing SQR report from unix

[Ravi Ginjupalli <GINJURA@KELLYSERVICES.COM>]

It works from the Unix Shell script. I need to try it from SQR.

Thanks for the suggestion, but the SQR program will be kicked off by a unix
script in the night,
so there is no means of running elm interactively and moreover I do not have
elm!!
I tried to send the mail from a Unix Shell script but the same problem
occurs.
I tried a : uuencode letter.htm letter.htm | mail lkari@jjjj.com
It send the uuencoded characters as the text of the message!!
I would really like to know why something that works perfectly from the
command prompt will not work from SQR or Unix shell script!!

Thanks for all the help.

        If you have elm installed you can send attachments like this:

        let $command = 'echo "[include /tmp/file1.txt text/plain]\n[include
        /tmp/file2.pdf application/pdf]" | elm -s "Subject"
email@address.com'
        call system using $command #mail_status

        More files can be included with a \n separating them.

        The user who is running the SQR must first run elm once
interactively before
        it can be run in "batch mode" like this.

        Elm takes care of the uuencoding for you, unlike mail or mailx.
