UUencode and emails problems

[RALPH ABI RACHED]

Hi,,

I am using Linux tida 2.6.32-431.el6.x86_64 and I am having problems with the format of emails where I am getting like the below emails:
Please advise what is the correct format?
Here is my script:

uuencode /svw/svwtst1b/work/billops/archive/system_activity/sar_$CURRENT_DATE sar_$CURRENT_DATE.txt > /svw/svwtst1b/work/billops/temp_mail.sar
###uuencode /svw/svwtst1b/work/billops/archive/system_activity/df_$CURRENT_DATE df_$CURRENT_DATE.txt >> /svw/svwtst1b/work/billops/temp_mail.sar
#uuencode /svw/svwtst1b/work/billops/archive/system_activity/slow_tasks_$CURRENT_DATE.csv slow_tasks_$CURRENT_DATE.txt >> /svw/svwtst1b/work/billops/temp_mail.sar
#uuencode /svw/svwtst1b/work/billops/archive/system_activity/slow_tasks_$CURRENT_DATE.csv slow_tasks_$CURRENT_DATE.csv >> /svw/svwtst1b/work/billops/temp_mail.sar
#uuencode $TASK_STATUS_REPORT task_status_report_$CURRENT_DATE.xml >> /svw/svwtst1b/work/billops/temp_mail.sar


WEEKDAY=`date '+%a'`
if [[ "$WEEKDAY" = "Sun" ]]
then
print "Week Number,From,To,Idle Average (%),Load Average (%)" > $TRASH/week_avg.sar
SAR_FILES_COUNT=`ls -ltr ${SAR_ARCHIVE_DIR}/sar_${THIS_YEAR}* | wc -l`

let i=1
while (( i < SAR_FILES_COUNT ))
do
let j=i+7
ls -ltr ${SAR_ARCHIVE_DIR}/sar_${THIS_YEAR}* | awk '{print $9}' | sed -n "${i},${j}p" | xargs grep Average > $TRASH/temp.sar
let SUM=0
while read LINE
do
IDLE_VAL=`echo -e $LINE | awk '{print $5}'`
let SUM=SUM+IDLE_VAL
done < $TRASH/temp.sar
let AVG=SUM/7

FIRST_DAY=`sed -n '1p' $TRASH/temp.sar | awk -F_ '{print $3}' | awk -F: '{print $1}'`
LAST_DAY=`sed -n '7p' $TRASH/temp.sar | awk -F_ '{print $3}' | awk -F: '{print $1}'`
let WEEK_NUMBER=${j}/7
let LOAD_AVG=100-AVG
print "${WEEK_NUMBER},${FIRST_DAY},${LAST_DAY},${AVG},${LOAD_AVG}" >> $TRASH/week_avg.sar
let i=j
done
uuencode $TRASH/week_avg.sar weekly_avg_$CURRENT_DATE.csv >> /svw/svwtst1b/work/billops/temp_mail.sar
fi

echo -e $TXT_MAIL >> /svw/svwtst1b/work/billops/temp_mail.sar

Wow.

A) why not just "tar -cJf" it and attach using MIME.
B) if you have to roll your own, wny not use "shar"?
it just does all that stuff for you.
C) you can use compression options with shar, too,
to make it much moore compact than just "uuencoding"
all the files
D) *plus* if files meet the criteria for "text" files,
the uuencoding step can be skipped.

So, what are you really trying to accomplish?
