You have a machine that's running an SMTP server or something that can be used as a smarthost, right? This machine could be used for this. Have a text file called listofmails.txt that had 1 mailing address per line. Then put the mail you'd like to send in mailtosend.txt. Then: for i in `cat listofmails.txt` ; do mail -s 'A SUBJECT' $i < mailtosend.txt done Of course, this assumes you have a machine where the mail command works, which might not always be the case. If you have to use a different From: address, then this won't work.

Re: Steam OS was released for all you gamers out there
I was a bit taken aback that it was setup to stripe - sounds like a disaster waiting to happen. I tried that first time I had dual ssd's (twice a fast, right?) and lost one after 5 months. All data go poof. I ended up rebuilding with new disks as mirrors, and never thought to test fate a second time. Yeah, welcome to microsoft's sphere of influence - who needs legacy booting when everyone runs windoze! I just feel dirty having to make the boot partition fat32 now... -mb On 12/16/2013 11:18 PM, Robert Holtzman wrote: On Mon, Dec 16, 2013 at 06:22:08PM -0700, Michael Butash wrote: An Asus UX51Vz - no legacy boot option at all, pure EFI/GPT sadly.

Re: Linux command line utility to send to email list?
The idea of a mailing list might be a better idea. you can power one yourself with a listserv or use Google groups.

Linux command line utility to send to email list?
What would be the best *simple* command line utility to send an email message to a small (100) list of email addresses? I googled for an answer, but only found long, long, very detailed and complex instructions (that fogged up my feeble mind) about how to set up a bunch of different things (that I did not understand). Some hits mentioned that there were perl and other programs to do what I want, but I have not been able to find them. I mostly use squirrel mail (gmail seems to cluttered up and complicated to me), but I am hesitant to send too many cc's or bcc's and would much prefer to find a program that could send individual emails to each address in my list of family and friends' email addresses. Any "Keep it Simple" suggestions? --- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.phxlinux.org To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.phxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
MEETING TONIGHT: Linux Stammtisch (12/17)
A Stammtisch is a gathering of people with a common interest, so there is no formal presentation for this PLUG meeting. We'll be meeting at Iguana Macks at 7pm on Tuesday for PLUG's Linux Stammtisch. Please come and join us for some good conversation over good food and drinks, which are both optional... Friends and family are all welcome. Come see where the conversation leads this time, it doesn't just stick exclusively with Linux. Us Linux geeks are interested in all sorts of things, so the conversation always leads to a good time. The private room that we have has power and high speed WiFi Internet. If you have any problems, feel free to bring in your machine and we'll see what we can do to fix your problem... We even have facilities there to do a formal presentation, so if you have a projector or can let us know ahead of time to bring one and want to show everyone something exciting, we can handle that as well. Iguana Macks is located on the South East corner of Knox (half way between Warner and Ray) and Alma School in Chandler. 1371 N Alma School Rd ( Map ) Chandler, Arizona 85224 (480) 899-6735 For more info Click Here: See you there, Brian Cluff ___ PLUG-announce mailing list - plug-annou...@lists.phxlinux.org http://lists.phxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug-announce PLUG Website at http://plug.phoenix.az.us ___ PLUG-announce mailing list - plug-annou...@lists.phxlinux.org http://lists.phxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug-announce PLUG Website at http://plug.phoenix.az.us--- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.phxlinux.org To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.phxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
