Send Mail Command Line

[mphayesuk]

I have almost written my backup script but what I want to do is email the log file my script creates.

So what I need is an example of how to email from the command line (shell script)

Thanks

The old Berkeley mail prog:
cat logfile | mail -s 'backup log' emailaddress

for nail (http://heirloom.sourceforge.net/mailx.html) (if you have it)
nail -s 'backup log' -a logfile emailaddress

I forgot mutt (http://mutt.org). You can use it similarly to my previous example.
