mail script update: msg#00070web.wiki.pmwiki.user
As I've posted here previously, I've written a bash script that will easily create a PmWiki page from email sent to a special email address. I've updated to the script to timestamp and append entries when a duplicate WikiPageName occurs, rather than creating a unique name. In addition to easily appending to existing pages, this will allow one to keep a date/time stamped journal using only by email entries. For example... The first thing each morning, I'll send an email to mywiki@xxxxxxxxxxxx, which will create a PmWikiPage named Tch/Journal-20030614. Throughout the day, I can send additional emails to the same address, and each will be appended to the original journal page with a date/time stamp similar to the following: -------------------------------------------------------- added 06/14/03 at 20:26... new text here -------------------------------------------------------- I plan to use the above feature, from anywhere that I have email access, to keep a daily journal of everything that I accomplish throughout the day. 2nd example... Previously, if I attempted to create a page named Linux.FireWalls, and I'd already created such a page, the new page would be named Linux.FireWalls-20030614-202759 (for example), and I'd have to manually merge the pages later. Now, the new infomation is appended to the existing page, with a date/time stamp. This is MUCH easier to edit later. As usual, you can download the script at: http://wiki.hisword.net/wiki/Main/MakeWikiPage |
