Sending email screen shots from Enlightenment Linux

I read somewhere that its possible to take unattended screen shots (scrot) and mail it (heirloom-mailx) every one hour (/etc/cron.hourly). It was not easy particularly the mailing part because configuring any mail program to send mail from terminal to the outside world seemed a herculean task. The steps ..

$ sudo apt-get install scrot

$ sudo apt-get install heirloom-mailx

#  to install certutil in enlightenement

$ sudo apt-get install libss3-tools

# Create a certificate directory

$ mkdir .certs

 

# Create a new database in the certs dir

$ certutil -N -d .certs 

 

# Fetch the certificate from Gmail, saving in the text file GMAILCERT

echo -n | openssl s_client -connect smtp.gmail.com:465 | sed -ne ‘/-BEGIN CERTIFICATE-/,/-END CERTIFICATE-/p’ > GMAILCERT

 

# Import the new cert file into the new database in the new dir. enter password when prompted

$ certutil -A -n “Google Internet Authority” -t “C,,” -d .certs -i GMAILCERT 

 

# Double Check

$ certutil -L -d .certs

Certificate Nickname                                         Trust Attributes

                                                             SSL,S/MIME,JAR/XPI

 

Google Internet Authority                                    C,,  

edit ~/..mailrc file

 account gmail {

 set smtp-use-starttls

 set ssl-verify=ignore

 set nss-config-dir=~/.certs

 set smtp=smtp://smtp.gmail.com:587

 set smtp-auth=yourusername@gmail.com

 set smtp-auth-user=you@gmail.com

 set smtp-auth-password=your_gmail_passwsord

 set from=”you@gmail.com“

 }

Testing mail Config
