Running under cron #6

Closed ehud closed 9 years ago

using yagmail from the shell is lovely! But when I try to run the script through cron it seems to fail trying to connect to the keyring. The only approach I found seems quite complicated (I haven't tried it yet):

Hey, indeed I also went down that path unsuccesfully. In the end I just made an extra emailadress for which I didn't mind if the password would leak.

I gave it another look yesterday (and wrote a long post, but GitHub somehow prevented the reply).

The main thing was that I was again unsuccessful. The only lead I have is that perhaps this approach might work (also have not been able to test it yet, as I am not on ubuntu, but it sounds very promising):

I do very much appreciate though that you dropped a line!

Best, Pascal

Thanks. Creating a dummy account is what I ended up doing.
