Email Every Month

[=sinister=]

I'm tring to put together a script that will email me something every month. I got the email thing down but the 'Every Month' parts got me puzzled. Any ideas?

Just compile your script then used windows scheduler to run ur script monthly.

I got the email thing down

hey could you post your script so that i can see it, i've been wondering how to send e-mails in Autoit for a while now, and its giving me some trouble.

PS- windows scheduler is a program that comes with windows that an be used to cordinate certain things on the computer(i think) like when to run Anti-Virus checks or in this case when to run your script

ill be happy if you post your script to

If you go to your control panel, there is an option entitled "Scheduled Tasks."

Open that up, and click "Add Scheduled Task" and follow the wizard.

This is assuming you're a windows user.

HI,

search for _INetSmtpMailCom. There is a great script which allows sending Email via Autoit.

So long,

P.S.: You can do it via windows tasks or start your script (autostart) and if day is = lets say 5, then sendEmail.

A simple mail send script (From the Autoit help file version 3.1.123(beta)) I have used a modified version to track my wan IP changes.

#include <INet.au3>

$Address = InputBox('Address', 'Enter the E-Mail address to send message to')
$Subject = InputBox('Subject', 'Enter a subject for the E-Mail')
$Body = InputBox('Body', 'Enter the body (message) of the E-Mail')
MsgBox(0,'E-Mail has been opened','The E-Mail has been opened and process identifier for the E-Mail client is ' & _INetMail($address, $subject, $body))

From my windows 2000 help file.

Using Scheduled Tasks
Using Scheduled Tasks, you can schedule any script, program, or document to run at a time that is most convenient for you. Scheduled Tasks starts each time you start Windows 2000, and runs in the background. Using the Scheduled Task wizard (available by double-clicking Scheduled Tasks in Control Panel, and then double-clicking Add Scheduled Tasks), you can schedule a task to run daily, weekly, or monthly, change the schedule for a task, and customize how a task runs at a scheduled time.

The _INetSmtpMailCom looks promising if you want to add attachments.

ONLY if yoi have CDO installed

"Windows 2000 and Windows XP use CDO messaging

Or another solution is to use commandline utility for emailing BLAT

Run('Blat.exe ' & $err_name & ' -subject "Error - ' & $subj_err_text & '" -to ' & $ini_EmailTo & ' -server ' & $ini_SMTP & ' -attach .\' & $log_name,'',@SW_HIDE)

There is also DLL version, but I succesfully used in my old project only commandline EXE version
