Weeklee - Easy weekly mailing list sender with Ruby and Pony

Monday, March 22, 2010

Weeklee is a simple Ruby script that uses Pony to send a mail to the Tetalab mailing list.

Each week, I send the same mail with what's happening during the week, it doesn't have much change from one week to another. After a weekend working on php, it was nice to refresh my head on a simple ruby problem.

You can read/download/fork/modify/commit Weeklee on github: http://github.com/alx/weeklee

Install

    gem install pony
    crontab -e
    // * 23 * * 1   /usr/bin/ruby ~/weeklee/weeklee.rb

Setup

  • Add your gmail account in options

Usage
