Compose a path from a file name. Send file through email
0
I want to send to my e mail account a mail with log from program execution. This file changes everyday and it's named like this
log-20190703.gz
My attempt:
#!/bin/bash
log_file=logs-$(date +"%Y%m%d").gz
echo "Log file for project" | mailx -s "Log file for start_ux" -a /srv/python/myfold/proj/Log_UX/${log_file} myemail@gmail.com
that gives me an error:
log_file command not found
mailx

My mailx is using option -a to append a header to the mail. Try option -A to send an attachment.
Edit:
The problem was solved by OP by removing a space character "between variable name and equal sign". Option -a was correct on CentOS and not the problem.

Hmm... What Unix is this and what does the manual formailxon that Unix say the correct option for attachments is? "Account ... does not exist" sounds odd. On Linux it's usually-A, BSD does not do attachments withmailx, and I'm uncertain for AIX and Solaris.
