X-JNOS-User-Port: Telnet (k5dat @ 50.50.110.146) -> Sending message
I wrote a linux shell script to mail the linBPQ generated weekly traffic report to the local BBS SYSOP. It uses 'expect' to int
eract with a BPQ telnet session.
'expect' uses the string '/r' to send a carriage return; the linBPQ traffic report file uses "/r/n" line endings. 'sed' and 'tr
' are used to convert the character "/r" to the string '/r' and remove "/n".
Edit the following variables at the top of the script: BBSUSER: username to log into BPQ telnet
BBSPASS: password for username
MAILTYPE: type of message to send (same as BBS S command)
MAILDEST: destination for message
BPQDIR: directory where linbpq weekly traffic reports are
TMPDIR: writable temporary directory to hold 'expect' script
My linBPQ installation generates traffic reports on Saturday evenings local time, so I set a crontab entry to run Sunday mornin
g:
0 6 * * 7 /path/to/script/send_traffic_report.sh
The script assumes it is running the same day as the report is generated; the Traffic reports here are generated here at 0000 U
TC Sunday so running Sunday morning local time works well. You may need to adjust the time the mailer script runs (crontab entr
y) to suit your timezone / traffic report generation time.
