As it says on the tin really. I would like to send some of my etc files to a colleague and it would be handy to cat them to a new Thunderbird email message.
Is this possible? If so how?
Give this a try, it's working fine for me:
cat /etc/[file1] /etc/[file2] /etc/[file3] > ~/configs.txt && thunderbird -compose "subject='test',attachment='~/configs.txt'"
or (a revised command which will also print each filename):
for file in /etc/[file1] /etc/[file2] ; do echo -e '
****' $file '****
' >> ~/configs.txt ; cat $file >> ~/configs.txt ; done && thunderbird -compose "subject='test',attachment='~/configs.txt'"
Just replace the [fileX] names with the ones you're interested.
The above command will create a new file named configs.txt with all of the config files you want and add it as an attachment to a new 'compose mail' window in TB.
