Mail from command line

[pepi37]

I would like to write small script that will check "results.txt" every 30 minutes and if found "!", mean PRP or prime is found to send me a mail.
Does some have to point me from where to start, or maybe have done script?
Thanks!

If you used PRPNet, it has the ability to send you and e-mail when a prime is found...

If you're working with Perl, use Net::SMTP.

Otherwise, "man sendmail".

I know about that feature, even thinking to install prpnet server to only use that ... will see what will be simplest solution

I have a small Python script which makes use of Python's builtin smtp module.

#! /usr/bin/env python3

host ='smtp.gmail.com'
port = 587
mode = 'tls'
acc = '<sthg>@gmail.com'
pw = ''

def email(*args): # HTML, attachments, cc?
     '''(Subject, Message) or (Recipient, Subject, Message)'''
     if len(args) == 2:
          send_email(acc, acc, args[0], args[1], host, port, True, acc, pw)
     elif len(args) == 3:
          send_email(args[0], acc, args[1], args[2], host, port, True, acc, pw)
     else:
          raise ValueError("email() expects two or three arguments")

import smtplib
from email.utils import formatdate
from email.mime.multipart import MIMEMultipart
from email.mime.text import MIMEText

def send_email(to, frm, sbjct, txt, host, port, tls=True, acct=None, pswd=None):
     """To, From, Subject, Body, Server, Port, Account, Password"""
     msg = MIMEMultipart()

     if isinstance(to, list):
          to = ', '.join(to)
     msg['To'] = to
     msg['Subject'] = sbjct
     msg['From'] = frm
     msg['Date'] = formatdate(localtime=True)

     msg.attach(MIMEText(txt))

     server = smtplib.SMTP(host, port)
     if tls:
          server.starttls()
     if acct or pswd:
          server.login(acct, pswd)
     server.send_message(msg)

if __name__ == '__main__':
     from sys import argv
     email(*argv[1:])

Put that ^ into a file called "email.py", modify the account details to whatever you need, `chmod +x email.py` and then via bash you can `./email.py "this is the subject" "this is the message"` or `./email.py "recipient@email.com" "this is the subject" "this is the message"`
