Can anyone inform me about the existance of an emailprogram exclusively for linux? I mean a client which has no windowsversion? A client that makes importing very difficult?

How is it possible to send email using the "mail" program? I tried:
echo "testing" | mail -s "test" myaddress@gmail.com
But nothing happened. I made sure that the sendmail daemon was running before I tried. Is there anything else that I have to set up first?
Here is what I am wanting to do:Whenever a program is installed - send an email with the program name.

Should I be looking into procmail, or is there a shorter way in /etc/mail (for sendmail) to route all of a specific user's email into a program? I don't care whether the emails are ever written into /var/mail. CentOS 5.3, kernel 2.6.18-128.1.6.el5, sendmail 8.13.8
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a cron job running to act upon files if they exist in a folder... the problem is the nature of those new files. New files aren't put there very often, the server isn't used much (most of the time) so I would like to not check every minute to see if a new file is there and allow the disks to spin down and go to sleep. However, when a new file does exist there, it needs to be acted upon ASAP.
So currently I'm handling that with a cron job... it works... but what would work much better is the ability to act upon the event of a new file being present. Is there a way to trigger action upon new file system activity in a certain path? or just keep doing what I'm doing and have the system check all the time and keep the disks awake just in case something shows up?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have two internal 500GB hard drives in my system. On the first, I had 9.04 installed, and used the second as storage. Well, I decided to try out 9.10, so I installed it on the second hard drive. Basically I was running 9.04 and 9.10 side-by-side. I just wanted to make sure I liked 9.10, before fully upgrading. Once I decided to move over to 9.10, I just copied all my files and the like from the first drive to the second. Once done with that, I re-formatted the first hard drive to become storage once again. I got 9.10 set-up the way I like it, got my Firefox bookmarks and settings put together, installed all the various apps, etc. Updates came in, I installed them and restarted. But what's this? GRUB is no longer in existence on this system!
I'm assuming that installing 9.10 beside 9.04 allowed for them to use GRUB off the first drive? And in re-formatting it, I got rid of GRUB? That's the only scenario that makes sense. I can boot off LiveCD fine, I just can't get 9.10 to boot, mainly because there is no GRUB.
So, is there any way to install GRUB through a LiveCD, or some other method? I suppose I could just wipe everything, and install a fresh copy of 9.10 again, but I'd like to avoid that.
I have a problem for which I imagined a radical solution. Okay, I have a script that uses Alltray's "menu" feature as an interface. It's working greatly, EXCEPT sometimes lxpanel (the panel and tray of LXDE) has a hiccup and restarts, at which point the alltray menu is still running, but the icon is gone from the tray.
I want to somehow test the screen for the existence of a color, a color that is likely only to exist in the icon I've chosen for the chat menu. If the color exists on my screen, then the script can continue to do nothing, but if the color doesn't exist, then that means the alltray icon with my custom icon has disappeared, at which point I should have my bash script close the alltray process and start it again.
How to accomplish the checking of my screen for the existence of a particular color? To simplify, I already have simple screenshot scripts (scrot is good for it), so it would be fine if I could simply analyze an image.
Can anyone tell me what the pros and cons are between heirloom-mailx vs mailutils? This is for ubuntu 10.04 LTS. AT this point my only purpose is to use the mail command line program to occasionally send log output to email aliases.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am appealing to the minds far greater than mine.. I have been using this forum with resounding success without having to post for some time, and I am more than impressed with what you can resolve by simply trawling through the archives, on this occasion however, I'm stumped.
I have a desktop upstairs in my home running 10.10, I have a Ralink Wirless LAN dongle RTL8188CUS with a mini CD with all the drivers etc. Now, when I physically install the dongle Ubuntu does not firstly even acknowledge it's existence, so, I unpack the CD Lynx dir and there seems to be no way to install it? I can't see a code to run in terminal to install.. nothing?
This should be simple but I can't seem to find what I am looking for.I want to search a text file for the existence of certain strings and execute a command if they exist, something along the lines of:
if <string> exists
command
or
if <any member of this list exists>
command
I know how to manually search a file with grep, cat, etc., but the "if this exists" part eludes me.
I need to parse the file of same name which exist on different servers and calculate the count of string existed in both files.Say a file abc.log exist on 2 servers.I want to search for string "test" on both files and calculate the total count of search string's existence.For example if file abc.log on server 1 has string "test" 2 times
and file abc.log on server 2 has string "test" 4 times.then the output will beStringName : Countexampletest : 6 timesNote : I have created the password less connectivity using ssh-keygen.
New Ubuntu installation with a big problem: no sound.
OS: Ubuntu 10.4.1
Hardware: HP Pavilion Elite e9150t (64 bit)
Sound card: Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio
Preliminary checks of sound level settings and obvious dumb stuff but there is still no sound. The problem seems to be that the system does not recognize the existence of the sound card and insists on using alternative audio devices.

And the mail server requires user ID login and password.how do I setup a text command based email client in my Linux (Centos 5.1) to send out email through the existing email server above, which is in another machine? The email client has to be text command based because I need to use command line to send notification email from anothar application installed in my Linux (Centos 5.1) Since the email client will only be used to send email notification, I don't require setting up of an email server in my linux.
Using CentOS.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI use 'quoted' style for reply emails. I want to be able to intersperse my replies within a quoted reply i.e. if the email had three paragraphs, I'd like to be able to have my replies between each of the paragraphs. At the moment, I don't seem to be able to do anything other than delete from the quoted section - I try to simulate my requirements by cutting and then 'paste quotation', but this doesn't always work as sometimes Evolution adds too many levels of '> ' .
View 5 Replies View Relatedwe had a server with Hostway, and it was running ubuntu. The server also had Plesk installed, which did some funny things. We had several websites on that server, and many email addresses. Then we changed servers. Now we have a server through Rackspace and it is also running Ubuntu. It also has Virtualmin installed, which generally does not impose as many unconventional changes on Ubuntu as Plesk did.
Rather than using Thunderbird to download my email (which is what I used to do) I've decided I'll start reading my email on the server. So I will ssh to the server and then use some email client, such as Alpine, to read the email. So I installed Alpine. I have an email account for "lawrence". The email address is lawrence @ krubner. Currently, when mail arrives for that account, it is stored here:
/home/krubner/homes/lawrence/Maildir/new
and then it is transferred to hear:
/home/krubner/homes/lawrence/Maildir/cur
When I start Alpine, while logged in as lawrence, Alpine automatically sets up an inbox for me here:
/home/lawrence/mail/
How do I get Alpine (or any other client) to read from the correct folder? I'm fairly sure the email package (the MTA) at work on this new server is Postfix. As near as I can tell, my email is held for 24 hours in this folder:
/home/krubner/homes/lawrence/Maildir/new
and then it gets transferred here:
/home/krubner/homes/lawrence/Maildir/cur
Alpine only lets me set one path for my Inbox, so I'm not sure what path I should set. If I use "cur" I will see all email 1 day late, but if I use "new" then I will miss email if I go a day without checking.
