On first inspection.

Make sure you add a e-mail address to the config variable.

Next, make sure the script is logging to the file in the wingate(mail-log) setting.

You should then note, that this script will only send out this file, at 22:03 (10.03pm), every 1/7th of a month (ie, 7th, 14th, 21st, 28th).

Thanks, ppslim
yeap, email address is there, and its logging to the file in the wingate(mail-log) as well, how do i fix this, so it can send a file 3:00am daily?? plz
should i remove this line
if {[expr $c/7] != [expr $c/7.]} {return 0}
and bind time - "03 22 * * *" wingate_mail to
bind time - "* 03 * * *" wingate_mail



thanks

Sending as a attachment is a whole new ballgame.

You will have to encode the text being sent, to a type that is used to send attachments, then you will need to format the e-mail body, to accept sending an attachment.

This is all boyond my abilities.
