crontab -noemail

Hi there

Am just trying to re-set up my bot crontabs to not send emails but not having much luck.

Am currently using:
./autobotchk mybot.conf -noemail -5

...but it still sends an email on the 5 minute checks.

Any ideas would be appreciated...thanks!

ps not sure if it helps but the script I use for tinyurl is:

Code: Select all

set query [::http::geturl http://tinyurl.com/api-create.php?url=$someurl]
	set url [lindex [split [::http::data $query] \n] 0]
...and it seems to work without the https even though tinyurl is also an https site?

while executing

Thanks for this - looks like perhaps my shell provider dosn't have the needed items as it's still returning an empty url...
Thanks anyway.

Thanks & apologies for the spectacularly slow reply:

Code: Select all

set query [::http::geturl http://v.gd/create.php?url=$somelongurltoshorten&format=simple]
set url [lindex [split [::http::data $query] \n] 0]
putserv "PRIVMSG $channel :$url"
Thanks again!
