Using /usr/sbin/sendmail in Ruby Script
in [Ruby]
|
From: Dan Sinclair on 19 Nov 2009 11:16 Hi Guys, I'm very new to Ruby, so please bare with me! I'm trying to make a ruby script that runs a command/executable. The command/executable is native to Mac OS X 10.5 and 10.6. It's the sendmail command (found in /usr/sbin/sendmail). The script I have so far is this: ################################### when "email" begin job_media = ENV['job_media'] job_reason = ENV['JOB_REASON'] e_address = get_node_value('post-action-e-address') eeemail(job_media, job_reason, e_address) end ################################### def eeemail(job_media, job_reason, e_address) RECIPIENT = dan(a)boxer.co.uk MEDIA = blah REASON = job_reason SUBJECT = "Engine Admin - Job #{REASON}" exec("/usr/sbin/./sendmail #{RECIPIENT} << EOF From: "Episode Engine" <noreply(a)example.com> Subject: "#{SUBJECT}" "Job #{MEDIA} has #{REASON}" EOF") end ################################### This script will run when a piece of software my company sell, finishes a task. The main thing I'm not getting to work is the: exec("/usr/sbin/./sendmail #{RECIPIENT} << EOF From: "Episode Engine" <noreply(a)example.com> Subject: "#{SUBJECT}" "Job #{MEDIA} has #{REASON}" EOF") Any ideas will be greatly appreciated.
