Sorry to reply out of thread -- can't seem find the start of it in Nabble. Anyway, I am finding that sending email with attachments from the shell is more complicated than thought. Quite a bit more.
You can use mail, which involves first uuencoding it, then piping it through to mail. Tried this, but it didn't seem to work, don't know why. Then you might think, why not pipe it through to an email client. Not so fast! You can, and you can evoke kmail with appropriate options from the command line, however what you can't apparently do is send the mail without user intervention. Well, maybe there is a way if you can figure out how to drive kmail through DCOP.. Dunno. So finally, the approved solution, which I have yet to make work, is to use nail or mailx (one is a 'heritage' version of the other). Then to use this you apparently need an smtp mail agent, I'm trying msmtp. So far no luck! There is an agent called putmail. In fact there are a whole bunch of the things here http://wiki.mutt.org/?LightSMTPagents And I will get one of them working one of these days. But, but, if someone were to just add mail with attachment to Rev, what an enormous favor they would be doing us all! By the way, fcron is the approved scheduler for when your system will not be on 24/7. Better, apparently, than anacron. Dunno, didn't get to do manual send yet, let alone unattended scheduled, but we will see.
