Hi,
I am using red hat enterprise linux server release 5.7
I am trying to send an email from one directory called bin.I am trying to run a shell script from that location. The output file is located in the directory named temp.
I am able to send file if it is hardcoded. But if it is having a timestamp on the end of the file. I am not able to send it.
TSTAMP ='date + %Y%m%d%H%M%S'
filename=/temp/testfile.$TSTAMP
filename=/temp/testfile.$TSTAMP
the syntax what i am using is mentioned below.
cat $filename | mail -s "test email" test@testemail.com
The above cat command is in if condition.
what i need is the content of the $filename should be displayed in the body of the email.
The below command works for a hard coded file for me.
echo $filename
cat /temp/filename.20150101171152 | mail -s "test email" test@testemail.com
cat /temp/filename.20150101171152 | mail -s "test email" test@testemail.com
Can you help me please
Thank You

Have you considered adding the timestamp on the subject to simplify output and using the -q option to send the file contents?
Another option would be to output the timestamp into a file in tmp, then append the testfile on the end, send the file as the message and then delete the temp file.
The second option is below:- TSTAMP ='date + %Y%m%d%H%M%S'
- filepath=/temp/
- temppath=/tmp/
- filename=testfile.$TSTAMP
- cat ${TSTAMP}>\tmp\${filename}
- cat ${filepath}${filename}>>${temppath}${filename}
- mail -q ${temppath}${filename} -s "test email" test@testemail.com
- rm ${temppath}${filename}
