For years now, I’m posting the daily Garfield and Dilbert comic on my Facebook page.
This is the (clumsy) script that does that:
#!/bin/sh URLBASE="http://comics.kamens.brookline.ma.us/cgi-bin/comics?which=specified&Garfield=include&specified=Garfield&numdays=1&width=&height=&noheaders=on&reload=reload"
wget -O page.html -erobots=off ${URLBASE}/
IMGURL=`grep "assets.amuniversal.com" page.html | awk -F'"' '{print $8}' | head -1`
wget -O garfield.gif ${IMGURL}
./mail.pl garfield.gif your-mobile-FB-emailaddress "Daily Garfield"
rm -rf page.html && rm -rf garfield.gif
Since I don’t want to use Mutt or sendmail, I’m using perl and Mail::Sender:
Mail.pl:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w # Usage: ./mail.pl attachment to-address subject
my $file = $ARGV[0]; my $tolist = $ARGV[1]; my $subject = $ARGV[2]; my $datum= `date "+%d-%m-%Y"`; # optional
use Mail::Sender;
$sender = new Mail::Sender;if ($sender->MailFile({Â smtp => 'localhost', from => 'fromuser@domain.com', to => "$tolist", subject => "$subject - $datum", msg => " ", file => "$file", }) < 0) { die "$Mail::Sender::Error\n"; } print "Mail sent OK.\n";
As always, YMMV.
Love Garfield
