publish email to website 1

[dwcasey]

Not sure if this is the right forum, but here goes...I have a unix script that polls some servers for failed backups, then writes that data to a file as well as email the file out.

Is there a way for me to send this file or email to a webserver for publishing?

I guess the simplest would be to NFS mount or FTP the file over each time. In that case, how could I give it some HTML formatting?

What about emailing the file to a user that is scripted to listen for and publish to website? Anyone hear of something like this being done?

If the file is readable by email, it should also be readable on the website (.txt/.pdf/.dat) etc. All you need to do is get the files to a web folder.

If you already have an HTTP server set up, you could send that file through... HTTP. The LWP module of [tt]perl[/tt] usually comes with command-line tools [tt]POST[/tt] or [tt]lwp-request[/tt], which can be easily used to upload the file from a shell script.

In that case, how could I give it some HTML formatting?

Not necessarily. You could upload it as it is, then format it with a CGI script when is requested.

This is very simple to do by setting up an alias in /etc/aliases that simply redirects the email content to a script.

Hmm... I think I could also use that information for a plan of mine... Thanks.

You could also use txt2html, google for the script loads about.
