C::V::Email::Template: how to use from cron

Post #1 of 4 (2464 views)

Hi list,

We're currently busy implementing Catalyst::View::Email::Template to
take care of sending all our templated mail.
From within Catalyst this is easy to use and works.

The problem is, we need to send email batches as well and want to reuse
the same templated mail setup, but how do you call
Catalyst::View::Email::Template, including its processing, without
calling it through a webserver. Is this possible at all?

Thanks in advance,

Enno van Amerongen

No reason you should have to do this through C::V::Email::Template. You
could just write a batch script that processes the template, and sends the
rendered data as it would be through the view.

Thanks Devin, that's what I was thinking as well. Too bad we can't reuse
the C::V::Email::Template code though.

Whoops, top posted last time. Anyway, there's no real reason to invoke
Catalyst to send mails, and eventually I'm thinking you'll want to move from
cron to something like POEx::WorkerPool to handle your batch email
processing.

Anyway, I digress :-)
