Default Re: Dom2 hosting help

Nicely done. Excellent for a first project. It looks like this could be called with a --postexec CMD where CMD is your script. After each scheduled hosting it would automatically mail out the trn files.

I take it this is meant as a Windows thing? It looks like it would work in Solaris and Linux but there are a hundred different ways to do that without downloading and installing anything new. I really thought there would be a way to just use Outlook with command line switches but apparently not (I looked, and Im pretty good at finding things on the net)

Again, excellent work. I wonder if someone can come up with something to process incoming emails to put attachments automatically into the game directory. I think some of the spam fighting softwares might have the ability to recognize subject lines and call an external program. Again I can think of many ways to do it in linux but I draw a blank in the windows environment.
