how to send email from dos bat file with a date on it

[jassie]

 I have IT experience with programming how I have not worked with a DOS batch file before. I need to send an e-mail message to selected users when certain DOS Batch files are executed. In these e-mail message, I need to include the date and time the dos batch jobs were executed.

  Thus can you tell me how to send an e-mail message from a dos batch file that has the date and time on it also?

Well, there's a weird and complicated way, but I would recommend for sending emails downloading something like www.petri.co.il/software/mailsend105.zip
Or, use a batch file to output some VBScript code:
That %date% will have the date stored in it, but read computerhopes's documentation on that because that will have no value of its own.

Code: [Select]

echo Set objEmail = CreateObject("CDO.Message") >> mail.vbs
echo objEmail.From = "[email protected]" >> mail.vbs
echo objEmail.To = "[email protected]" >> mail.vbs
echo objEmail.Subject = "Server is down!" >> mail.vbs
echo objEmail.Textbody = "Date: %date% Server100 is no longer accessible over the network." >> mail.vbs
echo objEmail.Send >> mail.vbs
start mail.vbs
del mail.vbs
Hope it helped.

Whoops, my bad, %date% does actually have a value. So you can copy my code and change the stuff in quotations, just remember that when you type %date% it will turn into the date.

you can use these codes just remove the html format and use
start mailto:

use %date% and %time% for the stamps
use quotes in some places to get it to work the way you want without quotes it wont execute but with they are printed on the email, move them around and see if you can get it to work right
start mailto:[email protected]?subject="subject %time%%date%&body=body goes here"
