I am in the process of trying to run a ksh script which usually sits on an AIX machine on its new host Linux node.
The code I am running looks like this:
(uuencode $path/info.dat info.csv; uuencode $RESULTS results.log) | mail -s "Info" $MAIL_RECIPIENTS
This normally sends an email with the subject "Info" and contains the attachments info.csv and results.log.
However on my Linux machine this isn't happening - it is sending the email with the uuencode output as the body of the email and no attachments:
begin 775 info.csv
M+3`U+C`S+C4S+C(Q-#`W."(L(D%55$]314Y$("`B+")!551/4T5.1"`@(BPB
etc..
etc...
end
begin 775 results.log
M+3`U+C`S+C4S+C(Q-#`W."(L(D%55$]314Y$("`B+")!551/4T5.1"`@(BPB
etc...
etc...
end
I have tried to just send the files as attachments without using uuencode at all:
mail -a info.csv -a results.log -s "Info" $MAIL_RECIPIENTS
But this is being invoked in the middle of a script and it just hangs unless I CTRL D.
This is the version of uuencode I am using:
uuencode (GNU sharutils) 4.7

Has anyone else experienced this? I am afraid mutt is not an option.
Since the body of the email was empty anyway I was able to do this to stop the mail utility hanging waiting for EOT.
mail -a info.cvs -a results.log -s "Info" $MAIL_RECIPIENTS < /dev/null
