This page will catalog cool tips and tricks using vee.
Email your vee entry
It is very convenient to email in your blog entries. The key is to use vee in batch mode within a shell script that might get called on your machine when you receive an email;
- receive message on host
- pipe content of message body in to vee -b using qmail (or something similar)
Create a log of your automated tasks
It is very useful to know that your cron jobs are doing the right thing. This this again calls for using vee in fully non-interactive mode; the following is an example of using as the command in a crontab file:
| /path/to/xyz 2>&1 | /usr/local/bin/vee -d /usr/local/www/data/mirrors/log -b -I -t "XYZ Output" -f none |
vee as a tumble-log
The following works best if it is wrapped into a shell script with passwordless ssh-key authentication set up.
|
ssh me@myhost '~/bin/vee -d /path/to/0x743/test -t "w0ot tumble-log test" -m "what the hell you looking here for?"'
