SMTP SMS Reminder Script

[Hd Pwnz0r]

require 'net/smtp'
puts "How many times do you want to bomb 'em?"
x = gets.to_i
puts "What's your gmail account?"
username = gets
puts "Password for that account?"
password=gets
message = <<MESSAGE_END
From: Private Person
To: A Test User
Subject: Test
This is a test e-mail message.
MESSAGE_END
Times_Sent = gets.to_i
Net::SMTP.start('smtp.gmail.com', 587, 'gmail.com',
username, password, lain) do |smtp|
smtp.send_message message
'@gmail.com'
'@txt.att.net'
end
while Times_Sent < x
Times_Sent = Times_Sent + 1
end
puts "#{Times_Sent} sent successfully!"

This isn't wokring for some reason, it's supposed to send sms messages
to remind people of stuff, you can send them many times, but the
authentacation doesn't work. Help?

username = gets ...
password=gets

Probably it's the newline on the end of the username and password. Try

username = gets.chomp
password = gets.chomp

I've tried that previously, the script just sits there until I interrupt
it.

Sure. So you have another bug. To be sure, try typing a wrong password
and see if it's rejected.

Try adding some STDERR.puts "..." lines to see how far you're getting.

I note some strange things in your script:

Net::SMTP.start('smtp.gmail.com', 587, 'gmail.com',
username, password, lain) do |smtp|
smtp.send_message message
'@gmail.com' #<< this line does nothing
'@txt.att.net' #<< this line does nothing
end

and:

while Times_Sent < x
Times_Sent = Times_Sent + 1 # This just loops until Times_sent == x
end

I suggest you start with the simplest possible script - which sends one
E-mail - before making it more complex. Google for "ruby Net::SMTP
gmail" to find some working examples.

There's the stderr, and I'll check into that thanks. It still gets the
output but there's a socketerror.

Here's the updated version. Weird error, I've never seen it before.
