Title: Script Needed
Post by: yepadoos on November 12, 2010, 04:43:49 pm

I would like a script that I can execute after unrar that will send an email containing the name of the file that was unrar'd.  I would like to use bmail for the email if possible.  Does anyone have anything like this?

Thanks

The commandline options for bmail as listed here look pretty straightforward:

Do you have Powershell or plain cmd.exe for Windows? With Powershell it's easiest to use inbuilt .NET functions with an smtp server, e.g.:

Code: [Select]

$from = "your@email.com"
$to = "some@other.com"
$subject = "Altbinz roxors"
$msg = "Whatever message you want"
$smtpServer = "localhost" # or whatever smtp server address
$smtp = New-Object Net.Mail.SmtpClient($smtpServer)
$smtp.Send($from, $to, $subject, $msg)

I've gotten pretty close with this:

Code: [Select]

set body="%1 complete. Unrar Directory: %2"

c:
cd c:\program files\tversity\media server
mshare.exe -R

c:\bmail -s smtp.comcast.net -t 847XXXXXXX@vtext.com -f altbinz@protovision.net -h -b %1

I just cannot get it to concat the collection & unrar location into 1 string then email it.

This will send the collection name as an email/text message to my phone.  If I could just concat the  collection and unrar location together it would be perfect but my limited dos capabilities haven't been able to figure it out.

Well, once you set the 'body' variable, you need to reference it with %body%, so:

c:\bmail -s smtp.comcast.net -t 847XXXXXXX@vtext.com -f altbinz@protovision.net -h -b %body%

or

... -b "%body%"

whichever works.

This finally does what I want, it refreshes the tversity library and sends an email containing the collection and unrar location.  The quotes around the variables was the major issue I was having.  Thanks for your help.

Code: [Select]

set _string=%1
set _string2=%2

:: Remove quotes
   SET _string=###%_string%###
   SET _string=%_string:"###=%
   SET _string=%_string:###"=%
   SET _string=%_string:###=%

:: Remove quotes
   SET _string2=###%_string2%###
   SET _string2=%_string2:"###=%
   SET _string2=%_string2:###"=%
   SET _string2=%_string2:###=%

set body="%_string% complete. Unrar Directory: %_string2%"

echo.%body%

c:
cd c:\program files\tversity\media server
mshare.exe -R

c:\bmail -s smtp.comcast.net -t 8477103017@vtext.com -f altbinz@protovision.net -h -b %body%
