Bash Script utilisant mailx à mail en pièce jointe

Question

J'ai un script bash qui exécute une requête dans Postgres, il émet à csv. Je veux ajouter à ce script à utiliser mailx pour envoyer ce fichier .csv à un e-mail particulier.

Le problème que j'ai est-ce ne sera pas envoyer le fichier. Je peux obtenir l'e-mail pour que je sais mailx est correctement configuré. Je ne peux pas l'obtenir pour envoyer en pièce jointe. Il peut également envoyer la sortie dans le corps de l'email.

Voici donc le code.

    #!/bin/bash
    NOWDATE=`date +%m-%d-%Y`
    PGPASSWORD=password psql -w -h host -p 5432 -d database -U user -o /tmp/folder/file-$NOWDATE.csv <<EOF
    Query is here

    # remove the first 2 lines of the report as they are headers
    sed -i '2d' /tmp/folder/file-$NOWDATE.csv

    uuencode /tmp/folder/file-$NOWDATE.csv | mailx -s "Accounts No Credit Card Report for '$NOWDATE'" mail@gmail.com

J'ai essayé la partie mailx avec:

    uuencode /tmp/folder/file-$NOWDATE.csv /tmp/folder/file-$NOWDATE.csv | mailx -s "Accounts No Credit Card Report for '$NOWDATE'" mail@gmail.com

et

    uuencode /tmp/folder/file-$NOWDATE.csv file-$NOWDATE.csv | mailx -s "Accounts No Credit Card Report for '$NOWDATE'" mail@gmail.com

Le problème que je reçois est-il recrache cette erreur quand je lance le fichier .sh.

    uuencode: fopen-ing /tmp/folder/file-01-11-2011.csv: Unknown system error

Answer 1

NOWDATE=`date +%m-%d-%Y`

It's up to you, but consider using ISO-8601 format, YYYY-MM-DD (%Y-%m-%d). Among other advantages, it sorts nicely.

# remove the first 2 lines of the report as they are headers
sed -i '2d' /tmp/folder/file-$NOWDATE.csv

This doesn't remove the first two lines, it just removes the second line. Change '2d' to '1,2d' (but see below).

Note that this modifies the file in place.

uuencode /tmp/folder/file-$NOWDATE.csv | mailx [...]

If uuencode is given only one file name, it reads from standard input and puts the name into its output. Your following text, "I have tried the mailx part with:" ..., indicates that you're probably aware of this -- but you haven't shown us the code that fixes that issue other than in snippets.

The error message you're getting:

uuencode: fopen-ing /tmp/folder/file-01-11-2011.csv: Unknown system error

isn't what you'd normally get if the file doesn't exist. I don't know what would cause an "Unknown system error" like that.

But here's an alternative that (a) is a bit cleaner IMHO, and (b) doesn't require uuencode to attempt to read the file:

#!/bin/bash

NOWDATE=`date +%m-%d-%Y` # but %Y-%d-%m is better
DIR=/tmp/folder
FILE=file-$NOWDATE.csv
RECIPIENT=user@example.com

PGPASSWORD=password psql -w -h host -p 5432 -d database -U user -o $DIR/$FILE <<EOF
... Query is here
EOF

tail -n +3 $DIR/$FILE | uuencode $FILE | \
    mailx -s "Accounts No Credit Card Report for '$NOWDATE'" $RECIPIENT

Answer 2

If the problem is with uuencode...why cant you try mailx -a option which can also attach the files to the mail. Check this link for more info.

Answer 3

I had the same issue. A bash script executing the query, saving the csv file and mailing it. In my case it it gave the uuencode: fopen-ing /tmp/folder/file-01-11-2011.csv: Unknown system error

When I executed the script using the ksh shell, it worked perfectly fine without any issues. Like this - ksh script.sh This is just another pointer. In case uuencode gives error, then try executing it using ksh; it might work for you.
