Re: Email notification programs
 

In linux I have the postexec script send emails when people ask for it.

Usually I push for using the programs you have, such as doing a command line mailto: call to outlook. But that is such a pain in windows that I recommend some of the free downloadable utitlities for that. The Bat or Febooti

Re: Email notification programs
 

For Linux servers, I use this script as my --postexec for email notifications

<font class="small">Code:</font><hr /><pre>
#!/bin/bash

PLAYER1=someguy@someemail.com
PLAYER2=someguy@someemail.com
PLAYER3=someguy@someemail.com
PLAYER4=someguy@someemail.com
PLAYER5=someguy@someemail.com
PLAYER6=someguy@someemail.com
PLAYER7=someguy@someemail.com
PLAYER8=someguy@someemail.com

sendmail -fme@my.isp.com -FDomserver $PLAYER1 $PLAYER2 $PLAYER3 $PLAYER4 $PLAYER5 $PLAYER7 $PLAYER8 &lt;&lt;EOF
From: Nick's Dom3 Server &lt;me@my.isp.com&gt;
Subject: Game has hosted
Please connect to server XXXX port YYYY to play your next turn
.
EOF
</pre><hr />

For windows servers, I install windows scripting host and then use this vbs script

<font class="small">Code:</font><hr /><pre>
Set objEmail = CreateObject("CDO.Message")


objEmail.From = "yourusername@yourdomain.com"

objEmail.To = "player1@somedomain.com;player2@somedomain.com "
objEmail.Subject = "Game XXX has hosted!"
objEmail.Textbody = "Please connect to server XXXX port YYYY to play your next turn!"

objEmail.Configuration.Fields.Item _
("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusing") = 2

objEmail.Configuration.Fields.Item _
("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserver") = "smtpserver.yourdomain.com"

objEmail.Configuration.Fields.Item _
("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserverport") = 25

'These lines are for if your ISP's SMTP server required authentication
'They can be commented out if not needed

objEmail.Configuration.Fields.Item _
("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpauthenticate") = 1

objEmail.Configuration.Fields.Item _
("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusername") = "yourusername"

objEmail.Configuration.Fields.Item _
("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendpassword") = "yourpassword"

objEmail.Configuration.Fields.Update

objEmail.Send

Re: Email notification programs
 

GREAT stuff. Thanks.

The linux script is alot like mine but I build a tmp file with all the headers then pipe it thru a send. But yours is easier to read.
