   I use this with the nut daemon:   
      
   echo -e "$NOTIFYTYPE\r\n\r\nUPS: $UPSNAME\r\nAlert type:   
   $NOTIFYTYPE\r\n\r\n`upsc $UPSNAME`" | \   
       mail -r from@address -s "NUT report myhostname ($NOTIFYTYPE)" \   
       to@address   
      
      
      
   Another method, used when I update my dyndns:   
      
       echo  > /var/lib/DDNS/mailbody.txt   
       host $CURRENTIP >>/var/lib/DDNS/mailbody.txt   
       echo  >> /var/lib/DDNS/mailbody.txt   
      
       echo "See attached files" | mail -r from@address -s "dns things" \   
           -q /var/lib/DDNS/mailbody.txt           \   
           -a /var/lib/DDNS/router_output.log      \   
           -a /var/lib/DDNS/router_output_err.log  \   
           -a /var/lib/DDNS/router_output_greperr.log      \   
           -a /var/lib/DDNS/wget_out.txt           \   
           -a /var/lib/DDNS/wget_err.txt           \   
           -a /var/lib/DDNS/DDNS_status            \   
           to@address   
      
      
   (remember than in opensuse mailx and mail are the same program)   
      
   cer@Isengard:~> l /usr/bin/mail   
   lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 5 May 16  2020 /usr/bin/mail -> mailx*
