| > Within the <TT |
| CLASS="filename" |
| >contrib</TT |
| > directory |
| exists a utility with the descriptive (if compact) name |
| of <TT |
| CLASS="filename" |
| >sendunsentbugmail.pl</TT |
| >. The purpose of this |
| script is, simply, to send out any bug-related mail that should |
| have been sent by now, but for one reason or another has not. |
| </P |
| ><P |
| > To accomplish this task, <TT |
| CLASS="filename" |
| >sendunsentbugmail.pl</TT |
| > uses |
| the same mechanism as the <TT |
| CLASS="filename" |
| >sanitycheck.cgi</TT |
| > script; it |
| it scans through the entire database looking for bugs with changes that |
| were made more than 30 minutes ago, but where there is no record of |
| anyone related to that bug having been sent mail. Having compiled a list, |
| it then uses the standard rules to determine who gets mail, and sends it |
| out. |
| </P |
| ><P |
| > As the script runs, it indicates the bug for which it is currently |
| sending mail; when it has finished, it gives a numerical count of how |
| many mails were sent and how many people were excluded. (Individual |
| user names are not recorded or displayed.) If the script produces |
| no output, that means no unsent mail was detected. |
| </P |
| ><P |
| > <EM |
| >Usage</EM |
| >: move the sendunsentbugmail.pl script |
| up into the main directory, ensure it has execute permission, and run it |
| from the command line (or from a cron job) with no parameters. |
