Send Yourself Emails Via a Script/Cron That Attaches a File – Linux
I’m using a nice little utility called mutt.
To get this guy installed and you are running CentOS, use:
1 | yum install mutt |
To send yourself an email with an attachement and no text:
1 | mutt -a /tmp/BackupFile.tar -s "Your backup" [email protected] < /dev/null |
To send the same file but with text try this:
1 | mutt -a /tmp/BackupFile.tar -s "Your backup" [email protected] < /tmp/TextForEmail.txt |
This site has some good info on mutt and the mail command.
