script to email userfile once a day?

jedis · Post by **jedis** » Thu Oct 18, 2001 7:53 am

Anyone heard of such a script? I've seen one that backs the userfile up to a different directory on the shell, but how about one that will email the userfile at 12AM each morning?

TCL error [email:userfile]: can't read "idx": no such variable

What do I need to change to fix this?

Change

proc email:userfile {min hour day month year} {

to

proc email:userfile {idx min hour day month year} {

?

OOOPS - my mistake.

Re-download the file.

Thanks

Will see tonight if it worked.

Is it too much to ask if it gzip's the userfile first, and then emails the gzip'd file? The mailbox quota issue donged on me, I will probably let it go a month before downloading the backups... at least I hope I won't have to go for them

Thanks for your help ppslim. Let me know if this is possible or not.

Yes it is, but not through me.

I do not have the knowledge required for this.

And to send you the logfile???

Send the file gzipped:-

at line:

if {[catch {exec mail -s "$userfile from ${botnet-nick}" $ufmail < $userfile}]} {

replace with:

if {[catch {exec gzip -c $userfile | base64 -e | mail -s "$userfile from ${botnet-nick}" $ufmail]} {

However, you will need the "base64" package installed on the shell machine which I believe isn't a standard install. You can find that here:-

http://www.codecenter.com/base64/

I'm really not to sure whether this all really worth it since after zipping it up base64 expands to ascii so it goes thru mail systems. Seems odd to compress it then expand it again but hey, you never know

Trial and error and all. And, oh, u'll need to base64 -d the file once you have it and then gunzip it(obvious really init, is it worth it?) Good luck.
