SyncMemo Update Script Examples

Alan Harder (Alan.Harder@Sun.Com)

This sample script retrieves weather, movie and concert information off the web and puts the info in the SyncMemo file area. With this script at any time you can check current weather predictions, lookup movie times, or find a concert to go to! Without having to find a newspaper, flip on the weather channel, or log into your computer!

The script:

~/.pilotmgr/SyncMemo/UpdateMemos.pl

The UpdateMemos.pl script uses the LWP::Simple perl module for retrieving web pages, part of the libwww package available from CPAN. You will need this module in your perl installation to use this script.

Post-Update Script Example

Martin von Weissenberg (mvw@hut.fi)

This script takes all your memos in a certain category (ie Outbox) and sends them as email using sendmail. It then deletes the memo so it won't get sent again. A simple and effortless way to write email on your Pilot!
To use, just edit the script and follow the instructions to configure. Then enter the full path to the script as the "Post-Update Script" in the SyncMemo configuration dialog and check "Run post-update script after sync."

The script:

~/.pilotmgr/SyncMemo/MemoEmailer.pl
