 Posted: Sat Oct 07, 2006 7:31 pm Post subject: problem with gmail.pl script and crontab? |
 |
|
Hi everybody.
I downloaded scrpt that should check my gmail box and list messages in the conky...
Some way it's not working
| Code: |
#!/usr/bin/perl
# Put this in ~/.gmail/ and use "crontab -e" to add something like
# "* * * * * ~/.gmail/gmail.pl > /dev/null" to run it every minute.
# ${exec cat ~/.gmail/.gmail_top} shows your inbox in Conky.
# Note that this was intended to be used with Gmail or any other
# ssl-enabled pop3 server.
# beginning of configuration
# pop3 host
$pop_host = "pop.gmail.com";
# pop3 username (for Gmail, I didn't have to put @gmail.com at the end)
$pop_user = "username";
# pop3 password
$pop_pass = "password";
# ssl port number (995 is what Gmail uses)
$ssl_port = "995";
# ssl protocol
$ssl_prot = "tcp";
# number of emails to show
$dis_numb = "6";
# end of configuration
use Mail::POP3Client;
use IO::Socket::SSL;
my $socket = IO::Socket::SSL->new( PeerAddr => $pop_host,
PeerPort => $ssl_port,
Proto => $ssl_prot);
my $pop = Mail::POP3Client->new();
$pop->User($pop_user);
$pop->Pass($pop_pass);
$pop->Socket($socket);
$pop->Connect();
$msg_count = $pop->Count();
for ($i = $msg_count, $j = 0; $i >= $msg_count-($dis_numb-1); $i--, $j++) {
foreach ( $pop->Head( $i ) ) {
#/^(From|Subject):\s+/i and print $_, "\n";
if ($_ =~ m/^From:/) {
($from) = ($_ =~ m#^From: .*<(.*)>#);
$from = substr($from, 0, 30);
$out .= "$j = $from\n";
}
}
#chop $out;
`echo -e "$out"> root/.gmail/.gmail_top`;
}
$pop->Close();
|
i replaced login and password, when i run conky i get something like : cat: /root/.gmail/.gmail_top file doesn't exist.
I did everything that is written at the begiining(adding to crontab etc.)

I'm assuming you're running this from your personal crontab.
Also, the mail file is supposed to be ~/.gmail/.gmail_top, but near the end the script reads | Code: | | `echo -e "$out"> root/.gmail/.gmail_top`; |
when it should read | Code: | | `echo -e "$out"> ~/.gmail/.gmail_top`; |

| I'm out of bright ideas so I'll try basic questions. Does the folder ~/.gmail exist? Does the file ~/.gmail/gmail_top exist? Did you remember to make the script executable? (chmod o+x ~/.gmail/gmail.pl) Are you a member of the cron group? Did you remember to change the conky configuration to look for ~/.gmail/.gmail_top instead of the previous /root/.gmail/.gmail_top? Does the script work if you run it by hand instead of from crontab? |

You need to get the Mail::POP3Client module from the CPAN site, a repository for Perl modules. If the direct link doesn't work, try going to http://www.cpan.org/, click on 'Perl Modules', then 'name', then 'Mail', and then download Mail-POP3Client-2.17.tar.gz.
Then you'll need to copy that to root's directory, as root and do | Code: | # tar -xzvof Mail-POP3Client-2.17.tar.gz
# cd Mail-POP3Client-2.17
# perl Makefile.PL
# make
# make test
# make install |
to install the necessary module.
Reading the README file in that directory is also a good idea, as usual, to make sure I haven't screwed up these commands.
You may to need to do something similar to get the other module called from your script: IO::Socket::SSL. (The file name to download this time will be IO-Socket-SSL-1.01.tar.gz in the IO folder of the modules list. |

| The IO::Socket::SSL module is in portage, so try "emerge -v IO-Socket-SSL" to install that module rather than do it manually. |

I think the script is ok, so maybe the problem is with gmail. I don't have a gmail account, but looking at their pop3 instructions, you first need to set up your account to allow pop3 access.
EDIT: Also, according to gmail's pop3 client instructions, your user name needs to include "@gmail.com" |
