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)?

Also, is it possible to actually transfer the log file by ftp using cron?
If so, would anyone be willing to share how to set it up?

Many thanks in advance!
