Hi,<br />
<br />
I want to send a txt file as an attachment via a cron command.<br />
<br />
<b>/usr/lib/sendmail email@domain.com &lt;&nbsp;/path/to/file.txt</b><br />
<br />
When I use the following command, the contents of the file are in the body and it is not an attachment.<br />
<br />
How can I have the text file be an attachment?<br />
<br />
Thanks!
