    have u tried using full path to sendmail? it works for me.

     

     

    !/bin/bash

     

    (printf "%s\n" "Subject: subject" "To: mail@mail.com" "Content-Type: application/ucs" \

     

    "Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=$(date +%Y%m%d)hostname.ucs" \

     

    "Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64" ""; base64 /var/ucs/hostname.ucs) | /usr/sbin/sendmail mail@mail.com

     

     

    in addition, u know the default ucs directory is /var/local/ucs. u intend to use /var/ucs, don't u?

     

     

    cheer!
