I Need To Automatically Generate A Email

Recommended Posts

Not sure this is the right place to post this, I want to be able to generate a email from a input, someone has mentioned Rasberry Pi, I have never used it but it does seem like it may be a option, so here is the scenario that I want to achieve:

 

Relay operates and generates signal.

 

The trigger generates a email that is forwarded to a pre set email.

 

Any ideas?

 

I suppose it all depends on the requirements and if the customer will allow you to develop / debug your solution on-site.

 

For an off-the-shelf installable solution, you can use a Galaxy G2-12 panel with low cost IP module.  This can be linked to £1/month monitoring which gives the advantage of accurate panel logging, battery backed PSU, polling, Web Interface and web configurable SMS / Voice / E-mail. It would also give future expansion capability for further signal monitoring from other outputs.

We have Vmware VSphere and all the common distros are on there so I'll have a play with a pi and ubuntu with the GUI first and see how I get on.

 

Still feel a little uneasy about not being a Microsoft Monkey but it's time I took the plunge.

You could do worse than one of these

It will send an email on alarm but not monitored so just like a speech dialler or text dialler in effect

VSphere supports all the common distros but does not include them - the selection on there is for startup/shutdown and drive mounting compatibility.

 

The releases are easily sourced though and as others have said go for a GUI interface to start with, it really is not that bad and I can assure you that for every single Windows feature you find lacking in various Linux builds you will find another feature that you will think 'I wish Windows had this'.

Most big distro's have there own IRC channel on freenode.

Login with mIRC, Pidgin, Irssi or whatever and ask away someone will help.
