I'm currently working on a script where I have to send an email with this information:

  • List of files backed up.

  • What files were recently modified? Say 1 or 2 hours.

  • Size and location of the backup in the host.

This is what I have done so far:

echo "Message" | mailx -s "Subject" -a path/ofthe/file.tar aaa@mail.com

This sends a mail with attaching the .tar file but I need to know what files where changed, if there were any.

  • This is much too broad. Google the individual questions, then tell us where exactly you get stuck gluing the pieces together. – tripleee Dec 10 '18 at 18:55

Try this: 

tar -tvf path/ofthe/file.tar > /tmp/files.txt
cat /tmp/files.txt | mailx -s "Subject" -a path/ofthe/file.tar aaa@mail.com; rm /tmp/files.txt
