Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Schedule a script to check mail? Post 47742 by norsk hedensk on Wednesday 18th of February 2004 01:10:57 AM
Old 02-18-2004
i recently did something similar just for fun. i have a perl script which dumps the messages in a specified mail spool file. then, this script is run via a cron job which dumps that output to a .html file which in turn is a nice small bbs. a semi-dynamic page, without the extra webserver load! (however you could argue running that perl script ever half hour or whatever is just as much load. but actually with a lot of traffic its less load than if apache did it dynamically). anyway here is the script the way i am using it now:

Code:
#!/usr/bin/perl

# this is the perl script for the BBS section of farragutmarine.com/~joe

use Mail::Box::Mbox;

my $folder = Mail::Box::Mbox->new( folder => '/var/mail/bbs' );
my $head = Mail::Message::Head->new;

foreach my $msg ( reverse ($folder->messages()) )
{


	print "<div align=\"left\"><table border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"5\" cellspacing=\"1\" bgcolor=\"#000000\" style=\"width: 632px; height: 158px;\"><tbody><tr><td bgcolor=\"#eeeeff\"><table border=\"0\"><tbody><tr><td align=\"right\"><font color=\"#000000\">Message:</font></td><td><font color=\"#000000\">",$msg->replyPrelude($head->get('sender')),"<br></font></td></tr><tr><td align=\"right\"><font color=\"#000000\">Subject:</font></td><td><font color=\"#000000\">",$msg->subject(),"<br></font></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr><tr><td bgcolor=\"#ffffff\">",$msg->body(),"<br></td></tr></tbody></table></div><br>";

}


as you can see, you need the Mail::Box::Mbox perl module.

here are the threads where the great people here helped me to write this :
