  • 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?

  • why i can't write in the terminal?

  • and how/where I write/become this script?

  • @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

  • @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.

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