For years now, I’m posting the daily Garfield and Dilbert comic on my Facebook<\/a> page.<\/p>\n

This is the (clumsy) script that does that:<\/p>\n

#!\/bin\/sh\r\nURLBASE=\"http:\/\/comics.kamens.brookline.ma.us\/cgi-bin\/comics?which=specified&Garfield=include&specified=Garfield&numdays=1&width=&height=&noheaders=on&reload=reload\"<\/pre>\n
wget -O page.html -erobots=off ${URLBASE}\/<\/pre>\n
IMGURL=`grep \"assets.amuniversal.com\" page.html | awk -F'\"' '{print $8}' | head -1`<\/pre>\n
wget -O garfield.gif ${IMGURL}<\/pre>\n
.\/mail.pl garfield.gif your-mobile-FB-emailaddress \"Daily Garfield\"<\/pre>\n
rm -rf page.html && rm -rf garfield.gif<\/pre>\n
Since I don’t want to use Mutt or sendmail, I’m using perl and Mail::Sender:<\/p>\n
Mail.pl:<\/strong><\/p>\n
#!\/usr\/bin\/perl -w\r\n# Usage: .\/mail.pl attachment to-address subject<\/pre>\n
my $file = $ARGV[0];\r\nmy $tolist = $ARGV[1];\r\nmy $subject = $ARGV[2];\r\nmy $datum= `date \"+%d-%m-%Y\"`; # optional<\/pre>\n
use Mail::Sender;<\/pre>\n
$sender = new Mail::Sender;if ($sender->MailFile({\u00c2\u00a0\r\nsmtp => 'localhost', \r\nfrom => 'fromuser@domain.com', \r\nto => \"$tolist\", \r\nsubject => \"$subject - $datum\", \r\nmsg => \" \", \r\nfile => \"$file\", \r\n}) < 0) { \r\ndie \"$Mail::Sender::Error\\n\"; \r\n} \r\nprint \"Mail sent OK.\\n\";<\/pre>\n
As always, YMMV.<\/p>\n
