[TriLUG] send an email within a script

[Dean Price]

Not sure if this will help. I use this simple script that runs as a cron
job to check if anyone has tried to visit a website that was banned and
send the results to me.

#!/bin/bash
cat /var/log/dansguardian/access.log | grep DENIED | mail -s "Web DENIED
Log" deano at price4.org


It is just one line

Hope it helps
