what Unix shell are you using: sh, ksh, bash??
sorry....sh
First, getting yesterday's date in the bourne shell is very difficult. It's been described ad nauseum in computing.net so I used a perl script to get yesterday's date. If you don't like perl, let me know, and I'll send you the computing.net links so you can use a total shell solution. Second, I'll leave the email part to you as I don't know if you have sendmail working or not:
#!/bin/sh # Prints yesterdays date and time as it relates to (now - (24 hours)). datestr=`perl -e ' my $xsecs = time(); my ($sec,$min,$hour,$mday,$mon,$year,$wday,$yday,$isdst) = localtime(($xsecs - 86400)); print $mon + 1, " $mday ", 1900 + $year, "\n"; '` set -- `echo $datestr` month=$1 day=$2 year=$3 if [ $month -lt 10 ] then monthstr="0"$month else monthstr=$month fi dirname="/test/directory/save/$year$monthstr$day" basename="filename." filestr="$basename$year$monthstr$day*" cd $dirname if [ $? -eq 0 ] then rm -f mailfile.txt for file in $filestr do echo "$file" >> mailfile.txt done fi
Thanks nails...working great but need help with email ..I do have sendmail working on server
After creating the mailfile.txt, try the mailx command: mailx -s "sending mailfile.txt" nails@nails.com < mailfile.txt
Thanks Nails..works great
