   My site isn’t huge, but I don’t have permission to use ‘mail’. Any chance you could send me the ftp version of your script? I’ve got Filezilla server up and running here, so I just need a way to ftp to it.

   I’m not sure what I need to do if anything to make sure that ftp log’s in correctly. I see in the ftp man pages that a .netrc file needs to be available, but I’m not sure what needs to be in that file for it to work.

   Hey Mark,
   This sounds awesome, but I can’t get the script to run. At first I was getting an error about options, so I removed the “-f” from the first line of the script. Now I’m getting
   “: bad interpreter: No such file or directory”

   Do a search for bash on your server (which bash) and replace the path on the first line. Sorry, I didnt see these comments.

   It’s the same as the path in the script.
   /bin/bash

   Hmmm…make sure you can type in “/bin/bash” at the command prompt and bash gets loaded.

   Yup, that loads bash.

   Hmmm…this might need a little human interference.
   Can you email me with some more details?
