NAME

auto_pickup.pl - lil' app to monitor mailings and auto reload them if they seem to have fallen off the wayside.


VERSION

Refer to the version of Dada Mail you're using - NEVER use a version of this proggy with an earlier or later version of Dada Mail.


USAGE

This little program can be used two ways:


REQUIRED ARGUMENTS

There are no required arguments.


OPTIONS

--verbose
As explained, prints out what's goin' on. Probably a good option to use, if you've never used this proggy.


DESCRIPTION

....


DIAGNOSTICS

None, really.


CONFIGURATION AND ENVIRONMENT

Out of the box, this script should run as a CGI script, if you place it in the cgi-bin/dada/extensions directory.

If you want to run it via a cronjob (which is what it's good for, really), follow the below directions:

To have this script run successfully as a cronjob, you will have to change the Path to Dada Mail's Perl Libraries.

NOTE This is not the same as your path to Perl (which is usually #!/usr/bin/perl). I get this asked frequently.

You will need to explicitly state where both your path to the regular Perl libs are, and the Dada Mail libraries are. For example:

 use lib qw(
 /home/myaccount/www/cgi-bin/dada
 /home/myaccount/www/cgi-bin/dada/DADA
 /home/myaccount/www/cgi-bin/dada/DADA/perllib
 
 
 /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/mach
 /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0
 /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl
 /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.0/BSDPAN
 /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.0/mach
 /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.0
 );

If you don't know where your Perl library is, trying running this via the command line:

 perl -e 'print $_ ."\n" foreach @INC';

If you do not know how to run the above command, visit Dada Mail in a web browser, log into your list and on the left hand menu and: click, About Dada Mail

Under Script Information, click the, More... link and under the, Perl Library Locations, select each point that begins with a, ``/'' and use those as your site-wide path to your perl libraries.
