Dear list,

I have to send many files to quite of user according to regular
time schedule. Would be a job for a cron daemon, I suppose.

Therefore I should be sending mail with "mail" from the command-line
and I looking for something like

mail user@adress <body.text -ATTACH "file1,file2,file3..."

(the ATTACH-switch being the problem, it's not there, is it ??)

Does anyone know how to achieve this? Files to attach might be
binary (pdf-Format or zip-archive, etc.).

I also would consider doing it with perl.

Thank you for your consideration.

Hans

Try "mpack" to email attachments from the command line:

http://www.rahul.net/cgi-bin/userbin...pack&section=1

has a man page. If it doesn't ship with your Unix, google has many
download sites. There are some security advisories for older versions
of the companion program "munpack", but you won't be using that.
