shell script help!!

[Louis]

hi all,

i have some commands on hand, but i don't know how i can stick it up
with (ksh) shell script... can anyone help?

1) use find to list out last 6 modified day files, *.zip
find /directory -mtime -6 -name '*.zip'
2) name of file is unknown, but i need to make up the following
command so i could attach all files and send it out into one email
(uuencode $1 `basename $1`; uuencode $2 `basename $2`..... uuencode $X
`basename $1X`) | mail [email]hello@hotmail.com[/email]

how can i do it?

thanks

find . -mtime -6 -name '*.zip' | tar -cvzf files.tar.gz -T -

Now pipe files.tar.gz via uuencode to mail.

tar -cvf - $( find /directory -mtime -6 -name \*.zip -print ) |
compress -c | uuencode zipfiles.tar.Z | mail -s "zip files"
[email]hello@hotmail.com[/email]

Or use "gzip -c " to compress and change the uuencoded file extension
to "tar.gz"

thanks all, so seems zip/gzip all files into one and then uuencode it
is the only solution instead of multiple attachment.

Certainly not. You could use shar to create a ``sharchive''. You could
use mime tools to create a multipart mime message from the commandline.
tar(+gzip or bzip2) or zip and then uuencode, however, is one of the
easiest to implement. And having a compression step seems like a good
idea to keep the message size down.

umm... i could be able to send "(uuencode a.zip; uuencode b.zip;
uuencode c.zip) | mail [email]myemail@here.com[/email]" to Notes server and this mail
with multiple attachment could be viewed probably under Notes.

in fact, those files zipped already. so zip it once again help on
'uuencode'

That may be true, but those uuencoded files are not attachments since
the mail command does not generate the appropriate MIME headers to
identify them as such.

Huh?

fyi, Notes is able to view it and detach it.

Why not? Easy enough to scan the body and make a guess as to the file type,
if not ascertain it for sure.

Notes (which I've never heard of) determines that the body is a uuencoded
jpeg (for example) and decodes it and sends it to a viewer.
