A mass spammer for computer science manchester
(Note that this is pretty specific to sending a Man-UP related email)
Simply enter
source /home/S08/suttonp8/man-up
Now it is advisable that you add the following line to your .my_bashrc.linux
source man-up
This does the same as the previous command (sort of) and will allow you to get all the super cool Man-UP stuff.
- Preferably write the email in markdown
-
728E
-
Go to http://man-up.appspot.com and click 'log in/register' in the top right.
-
Once you have logged in you should now see an 'admin' button in the top right corner, if you cannot you need to be made an admin, email me at lloyd.w.henning@gmail.com and I can sort this out.
-
Clicking the admin button will take you to the admin page where you can create a news post, fill it with the same content you will put in the body of the email.
-
On this page you can upload the image and use the url for the email.
-
You can get the url of the image by viewing the news post (on the homepage) and copying the image url.
-
(leave a message on there if you need to become an admin).
-
At the time of writing the create event button is the cog icon in the right corner of the group page.
-
Upload the image as the event image and put the body of the email in as the details.
-
Once you have created the event copy the event id, which is the big number in the url after "event/" and before the final "/", e.g., 245828098826625
The basic outline
emailit -f [FACEBOOK_EVENT_ID] -i [IMAGE_URL] -l [LINK_TO_FACEBOOK_EVENT] \
[recipient] [your_cs_username] "[SUBJECT LINE]" [EMAIL_BODY_FILE]
You probably want to test it first so run something like
emailit -f 245828098826625 -i \
http://man-up.appspot.com/img?img_id=agZtYW4tdXByDQsSBUltYWdlGPrGBQw -l \
http://www.facebook.com/events/245828098826625 [YOUR_CS_USERNAME] \
[YOUR_CS_USERNAME] "[Man-UP] The Punisher getting you out of bed and into \
Kilburn" ~/email-body.txt
And then check it all works ok
By sourcing /home/S08/suttonp8/man-up you will now have the environmental variable $list_nerds which is the mailing list for Man-UP.
BEWARE, IT IS BEYOND POWERFUL, DON'T BE THAT PERSON WHO HAS TO SEND THE SPAM MAIL MORE THAN ONCE.
So, as an example of its use:
emailit -f 245828098826625 -i \
http://man-up.appspot.com/img?img_id=agZtYW4tdXByDQsSBUltYWdlGPrGBQw -l \
http://www.facebook.com/events/245828098826625 @$lists_nerds henninl8 \
"[Man-UP] The Punisher getting you out of bed and into Kilburn" \
~/email-body.txt
Anymore queries ask lloyd.w.henning@gmail.com or petersutton2009@gmail.com. Or both.
