I want to send a short text file (log output) before shutting the server down for good. === dendro-afk is now known as dendrobates === rabuf_ is now known as rabuf === dendrobates is now known as dendro-afk [14:44] Mathuin: sure === dendro-afk is now known as dendrobates [15:20] flaccid: I'm using one of the official Ubuntu AMIs (the Maverick 64-bit us-east one) what do I need to do? [15:21] send mail as you usually would [15:22] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MailServer#Mail Transfer Agent [15:23] I installed mailutils (it's interactive, bad news for my batch job) and send mail to my gmail account but it never arrived. [15:23] check /var/log/mail* [15:24] Looks like google accepted the SMTP transaction. [15:25] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mailx [15:25] hah! my spam filter sat on it. [15:25] nice [15:26] you can consider ses for more reliable mail [15:27] Hmm. [15:27] I almost wonder if there's some web-based approach I could be using, where I'm pushing the logs via HTTP instead of mail. [15:32] syslog [15:36] I thought of that, but it seemed wrong. A web-based solution would allow two-way communication. Spin up a cloud machine, have it check the website for jobs, download a job, complete it, upload logs, lather rinse repeat, shutdown when no more jobs are left to be done. === dendrobates is now known as dendro-afk === dendro-afk is now known as dendrobates === dendrobates is now known as dendro-afk === dendro-afk is now known as dendrobates === dendrobates is now known as dendro-afk === dendro-afk is now known as dendrobates === dendrobates is now known as dendro-afk === dendro-afk is now known as dendrobates === dendrobates is now known as dendro-afk
