Gmail in Terminal - Check Inbox - Ubuntu 10.04 Tips & Tricks

[monkeybuntu]

Hi -- I copied your script verbatim, changing only the account ID, but it behaved differently for me. The output was html, and the script never finished. I had to ctrl-c out of it. Thinking that maybe my bloated inbox had something to do with the script not finishing, I created a new gmail account, sent myself a test email with only a subject line and no body, like you did in the video, and ran the script again. The behavior didn't change. Any thoughts?

You don't need the file extension on the script, you could also symlink the script into /usr/local/bin to make launching not require you to change directory to the scripts folder.

Haha this is great. :) Question: do you know of tutorials or guides to writing scripts? I am curious. :P

[PCAddictsLive]

@Celeodor Thanks... as for tutorials / guides... I don't know off the top of my head... I may look around this weekend - hit us up in the live chat (see the video description for links to the chat and/or stream).

Will this still encrypt your password before it is sent?

When i try to bring it up I get a permission denied message. Any help??

[PCAddictsLive]

@Quatura Maybe you didn't set the permissions on the script to be executable? sudo chmod 755 pathtofile

@PCAddictsLive Why does it need sudo if the file is in a subfolder of $HOME ??

[PCAddictsLive]

@ShadowEater120880 Good point... it's been a while since I used this. I can't remember why I did sudo, try it without and let me know please.

[ShadowEater120880]

@PCAddictsLive You only need sudo to access stuff your user does not own. This basically encapsulates all files outside of $HOME. The users own files in home are fully accessible to the user so sudo is not needed. Using sudo excessively increases the risk of accident to the oOS as the command runs as root which in this case is not necessary

line 3: curl: command not found

[PCAddictsLive]

@thejoesteiger Crud, I forgot to mention that. You will need to install CURL ( sudo apt-get install curl ) I am pretty sure that will fix ya.

[thejoesteiger]

@PCAddictsLive Ha, it works! I don't think I will ever use it but cool anyway!

[PCAddictsLive]

@thejoesteiger Coolio, glad ya got it to work :)
