Question Calling a URL
I'm trying to update a Unix script to open a url. I'm told by our Unix expert that this will have to be done in a Perl script and called by our current Unix script. Is there a way to open a specific url from a Unix script?

I'm not sure what you want - but Linux offers wget.

Otherwise, if you want to display website you have to be in a windowed environment,
and have some sort of browser enabled - like Mozilla.

open a window
I have a program that will send emails when the url is opened. My Unix script currently updates the data for the email. I need to add the url at the end of the Unix script.

I really don't understand what you are doing. Maybe someone else can help.

I don't understand either. Can you try to explain a bit better what you are trying to accomplish?

Please explain what kind of URL you are trying to open (e.g. http://), maybe give a sample of your scenario.

Do you mean your shell script (or through a Perl script) needs to send an HTTP request through some http:// URL to some machine, whose address specifies a script that on execution will send out some email? Or your local script instead sends out some email after making such a request?

Can you map your question clearly by listing the parties involved in your scenario, e.g. the shell script you are writing, some remote Web server, or some intermediaries and the kind of relationships in between.

What do you mean by "opened URL"?

Do you mean "when connection is"?
