Generate report using ROBOTS does no work
« on: December 09, 2008, 06:34:58 »
I have tried to use download report using the ROBOTS, It just shows me the report in the browser but NOT download it. Is that the normal behavior. Please help, I would like to run a crontab daily to send those reports by email.
Best regards,
James

See http://queuemetrics.com/manuals/QueueMetrics%20User%20Manual%20150.htm#_Toc216153238


You should do something like

Quote
wget -O- url | mail myemail@mydomain

Where url is the URL as defined in the User manual.

Thanks for the reply. According to my understanding, wget will download a CSV or Excel page for me? but When I tried it just saved a file with the content of the xml/html page. Is that the normal behaviour? If yes, is there a way that I can export the to text or CSV and send them to email on a daily basis?

No this will download a complete HTML file that is the same page you would see in QM. Running a crontab is just fine :-)
