Hello,

I know I can use

mail -s "logfile " < /var/log/httpd_access.log

in cron to email the content of a log file to a particular email
address but how do I make that log file a binary attachment (*.gz)?

gzip -c /var/log/httpd_access.log | uuencode httpd_access.log.gz | mail -s "logfile" someone@somewhere
