Hi i've a problem whit this code:
# up here there's more code
echo "Password changed" $(date) > lez.txt
curl -n --ssl-reqd --mail-from "[email protected]" --mail-rcpt "my mail" -T lez.txt --url smtps://smtp.gmail.com:465 --user "[email protected]:password"
If I run the script I get only a empty mail, but if I do this manually I get my mail. Thanks.
It looks like it's having problems to find the file contents. What about using a here-string to avoid writing a file at all? Change your code to:
curl -n --ssl-reqd --mail-from "[email protected]" --mail-rcpt "my mail" -T - --url smtps://smtp.gmail.com:465 --user "[email protected]:password" <<<"Password changed $(date)"
Notice the echo statement removal, the here-string at the end of the line and the -T - to get the file from stdin.
cURL expects that the file to be sent has a empty line on the 1st row
the script below will do that for you
##!/bin/sh
# USAGE
#
# sh emailfile.sh examplefile.log
file="$1"
echo "" > temp | cat "$1" >> temp && mv temp "$1"
wait
curl --url "smtps://smtp.mail.yahoo.com:465" \
--mail-from "[email protected]" \
--mail-rcpt "[email protected]" \
--user "[email protected]:EmailAccountPassword" \
-T - --silent < "$file"
wait
