reminder.sh
Simple shell script for automatically sending reminders and other information via email.
reminder.sh provides a simple setup for sending custom information to a list of recipients via sendmail.
Setting it up
Installation
It's easy: Just clone this repo.
Setting the recipients
Edit the file recipients.txt and list all your recipients email addresses seperated by commas.
Setting the content
Edit the file content.txt. Enter the emails subject in the first line behind the Subject: header qualifier and the body below this line.
Setting the reminders origin
Set the origins email address and display name in send-reminder.sh at the tagged section.
Sending a reminder
After setting up reminder.sh you can easily send your message to your recipients by invoking send-reminder.sh. You can find
the error log at error.log and the submission log at sent.log.
Automate a recurring reminder
One way to automatically send a recurring reminder is Cron. To set it up run
crontab -e
and insert the line
x x x x x /your/path/to/reminder.sh/send-reminder.sh
where x x x x x is your Cron schedule expression.
Another way would be to use Systemd timers, but I didn't use this method yet.
