I wrote a simple script to have my machine at home dial up my ISP and
then send me an e-mail at work telling me the IP address it was
assigned. It does this four times a day, (cron job) giving me a window
of 30 minutes each time to telnet or ftp to my home machine, if I
desire.
Worked great for about a week. But yesterday, something happened. Now,
it still logs itself on and sends me an e-mail, but the e-mail is
missing both the subject and the body. Completely blank. Completely
useless. I made no changes to the script. The only thing I did was
mess around with pine (for unrelated reasons), changing a couple of
configurations. Could this somehow have messed up mail? Like I said-
technically it's still working; the notes are just coming through
blank. (And I can send and receive other e-mail (using Netscape)
normally.)
Here's the script:
#!/bin/bash
pppd &
sleep 90
ifconfig ppp0 | grep inet | mail -s "Bogey's online at..."
