> I was think about add code to Circle mud that E-mail bugs, and > suggestion to me instead of putting them into a file. Before I recreated > the wheel has anyone played with idea before ? i wrote a simple script file and put in in the lib/misc directory (this is for Linux folx) date >> lib/misc/bugs date >> lib/misc/typos date >> lib/misc/ideas cp lib/misc/bugs lib/misc/bugs.bak cp lib/misc/typos lib/misc/typos.bak cp lib/misc/ideas lib/misc/ideas.bak mail -sBugs mud < lib/misc/bugs mail -sTypos mud < lib/misc/typos mail -sIdeas mud < lib/misc/ideas rm lib/misc/bugs rm lib/misc/typos rm lib/misc/ideas touch lib/misc/bugs touch lib/misc/ideas touch lib/misc/typos (You might want to put your whole path in before the lib/misc) Also you will need to set up an alias in /etc in the aliases file to send the mail to.. (if you are not root then you can set up you own alias) Ours in mud. This sends all these files to all the imms. I also created a crontab for this so it runs every M,W,F at 2:33 am to do this you have to edit your crontab file: Type crontab -e to edit your crontab file (if your sysadm gives you access) Then I used: 33 02 * * 01,03,05 /mud/lib/misc/mudlogs for the crontab entry... and poof... I get the stuff sent every night... :) If you want to learn more about the crontab check the man pages -Peace Argus http://www.argy.com telnet: eclipse.argy.com 7777 +-----------------------------------------------------------+ | Ensure that you have read the CircleMUD Mailing List FAQ: | | http://cspo.queensu.ca/~fletcher/Circle/list_faq.html | +-----------------------------------------------------------+
