Scheduling and Emailing a template file 1

[webmigit]

Hi guys.. I have a problem, and you're gonna love it...

Cold Fusion has a bug, yes I admit it, but CFSCHEDULE (the cf counterpart to cron jobs) sucks, its really buggy... so I'm helping you guys'll help here...

please...

I need to schedule a job to run every day at 6:00 AM and then the job that needs to be run needs to open "..\template.php" and email the contents to the specified email address.. in this case "thicks_fusion@yahoo.com"...

Help, please,
Tony

Then use cron.

Write a bash script which invokes lynx to copy the source of the file to STDOUT, then pipe that output to sendmail (or whatever your mail app's name is).

Something like:

#!/bin/bash
lynx -source [URL unfurl="true"]http://yourdomain/template.php[/URL] | sendmail thicks_fusion@yahoo.com

Configure cron to run the script every day at 06:00. ______________________________________________________________________
