I'd like to send an email containing an attachmnet using a script.
I've tried the mail command (in the mailx package), but I don't know
how can I use it to send an attachment.

So, is there a way I can use mail to send an attachment, or is there
other utility to do the job.
    

uuencode foo.gif /dev/stdout | mail -s "my subject line"
recipient@xxxxxxxxxx

uuencode part of the sharutils rpm.

make your choice :

I ve been using metamail / metasend for years now,  simply the best solution to send any kind of attachements with lots of diff options
for body, file structure, size ....

A good example of how it works using those 2 scripts :
