Send mail from Oracle Solaris OS with attached files


To send mail from Solaris, use this syntax

echo "some text to send" | mailx -s "subject of email" recipient's@address

Or, if you have body of email in some file:

mailx -s "subject of email" recipient's@address < some_file.txt

If you want to send mails with zip files of image files use the following formats: 

uuencode reports.tar.gz reports.tar.gz | mailx -s "My Report" you@domain.com
 
 
uuencode office.jpeg office.jpeg | mail -s "Subject" you@domain.com
 
If you need to send multiple attachments in single mail:
 
 $ uuencode r1.tar.gz  r1.tar.gz > /tmp/out.mail
 $ uuencode r2.tar.gz  r3.tar.gz >> /tmp/out.mail
 $ uuencode r3.tar.gz  r3.tar.gz >> /tmp/out.mail
 $ cat email-body.txt >> /tmp/out.mail
 $ mail -s "Reports" you@domain.com < /tmp/out.mail

If you want to use mysql >= 8 and you dont care about caching_sha2_password,  If you are running a fresh install of mysql 8, just select the second option as shown in the image. Otherwise, you need to  configure MySQL 8.0 to run in mysql_native_password mode. As it can't configured in my.cnf, change the user profile as:- ALTER USER 'mysqlUsername'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED WITH mysql_native_password BY 'mysqlUs...
