What I am attempting to do:
Each night we run a series of reports. Those reports need to be sent via
email to different recipients depending on the report. I want to do this
automatically from cron.
How do I do that? I know how to execute a program from cron,, but what
program do I execute and how do I attach the reports to an email and address
the email without opening pine or sendmail. Do I need to know the file
format for the outgoing email and create that file and submit it to sendmail
or what?
I need some direction to look,,,
