mailing myself at regular intervals...
hi all,
i wrote a script to mail myself using pine (modified) to keep remind of b'days.
#!/bin/bash
grep "`date +%D |awk -F/ '{print $2+1, $1+0}'`" dataFile >/home/username/mailme
if test -s /home/username/mailme
then
pine -I '^X,y' -subject "Birthday Remainder" username </home/username/mailme
fi
--
dataFile is of format:
6 12 Myla
i.e day month name
---
now, when i try run it thru crontab at regular interval it doesn't run.
i can run the script thru commandline and it works. but thru cron, it doesn't what should i do?
---
also is there any other way to mail oneself in scripts?
(using fedora core 4 and our mail server doesn't require authentication)
thanx alot for help....
