Need a small shell script

Hi

I have problem to sent a mail after i done my rsync cron job. I don't want to receive a mail after each rsync done by using " .. | mail -s "" hl@abc.com. So, I log the message to a logfile. But I faced another problem.

ex of my code:

--------------------------------------------------

#!/bin/sh
       

# start rsync test source and test list
set LOG=/tmp/rsync.$$.`date|awk '{printf "%s\n", $4}'`.txt

echo $LOG

echo "rsync /fs1/projA:" > $LOG
/usr/bin/rsync -Lpgtrzv --numeric-ids /afs/projA/
 /fs2/projA/ >> $LOG

echo "" >> $LOG
echo "rsync /fs1/projB/:" >> $LOG
/usr/bin/rsync -Lpgtrzv --numeric-ids /afs/projB/ /fs3/projB >> $LOG

#... more files to sync

(uuencode $LOG $LOG;) | mail -s "Rsync Message" hl@abc.com

# All done, exit ok
exit 0


---------------------------------------------

From this code, I get an unformated attachment txt file when i open directly from outlook. It is hard to read.


Is there any way to:

1. print the content of the log file into the mail? Then i can read directly from my mailbox instead of open the attachement.

or

2. I can read the file in a correct file format when i open thru outlook?

thanks

either mail the file as text (as suggested before),
or add a valide MIME header to the uuencoded text,
or use a MUA which can handle it without MIME header ;-)
thanks.. it solve my problem  :)
