okay,

i am looking for a program that will email me a my log files from my server every day. i would like it to basically have a conf-type file that lets me point out the 3 logs i want emailed to me and my email i want to have them on.
either that or a simple gui but that is more difficult i am pretty sure that a conf would be better. i have my server on my friends computer and i belive they are not only abusing gm powers overly but are speedhacking and majorly modding things i warn them not to. i also have core editing chat log to be sure. this is why i want them emailed to me. the more discrete the program the better. a core edit that will use my ascent-world.conf file that uses a directive such as this

###################################
#  E-mailer directive
#  
#  File1
#
#  File2
#
#  File3
#
#  Email address
#
###################################

< E-Mail File1="FILEPATH 1"
      File2="FILEPATH 2"
      File3="FILEPATH 3"
      Email="MY EMAIL"

would be 1337


if you could lead me in the right directon of sourcecode too. i am a c++ n00b also. to ppl who can help.

Some vb.net for you.

Dim mymail As System.Web.Mail.MailMessage = New System.Web.Mail.MailMessage() 

mymail.From = "[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]"  'Set this to what you want the from address to show as
mymail.To = "[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]" 'Set this to your email address
mymail.Subject = "Email Subject" 'Set this to the subject you want. You don't need to set a subject, though.
mymail.Body = "This is the text of the email, set it to whatever you like. You don't need to have this set, though."
Dim mylogs1 As MailAttachment = New MailAttachment("C:log1.txt")  'Set the path to your log file
mymail.Attachments.Add(mylogs1) 'This just adds the attachment to the email
Dim mylogs2 As MailAttachment = New MailAttachment("C:log2.txt")  'Set the path to another log file
mymail.Attachments.Add(mylogs2) 'Again, just adds the attachment
'Repeat those 2 lines for every log you want to attach
Dim SMTPServer As New SmtpClient("smtp.gmail.com") 'This is an example for Gmail, you can set the SMTP to whatever you like.
SMTPServer.Port = 587 'The Gmail smtp port. If not using Gmail, remove this line
SMTPServer.Credentials = New System.Net.NetworkCredential("your gmail address here", "your gmail password here") 'This is used because the Gmail smtp server is secured. Remove this line if you don't need to authenticate to access the smtp server.
SMTPServer.EnableSsl = True 'Remove if it's not an ssl secured smtp server
SMTPServer.Send(mymail) 'Sends the mail

That should do the trick.

+rep dude, exactly what i needed! also is there a way that i can make the body say "LOG FILES AT: DATE/TIME"?

[ReidE96]

mymail.Body = "Log files sent at " & Today

Make that the body and it should work. Glad it helps

thankx dude u rock. gonna try compiling it in a bit if this crappy thing im on now can handle it.(desktop cpu melted down, on ancient laptop now)

[ReidE96]

Should be able to. It's not supremely strenuous code. Couple of things to note though, that's vb.net coding (I use vb.net express 2008 atm) and you WILL need .NET framework installed on the machine that's running this. Not sure which version though.

[Insignia]

so the visual basic express edition and .net 3.5 is all i need?

[ReidE96]

Visual Basic Express Edition will be able to compile that code into a little .exe for you

As for .NET 3.5, that might need to be installed on the computer that's running the exe (though it might well be installed already, and you might not need .NET 3.5, .NET 3.0 or .NET 2.0 might be enough)
