Last night a couple of questions came up (both from Steve, I think). The
first is for a filter that converts a month name to a month number from
within an ls listing. Locale is probably the most correct approach, but
BFI works great too:
ls -l | perl -p -e '@m=qw/Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov
Dec/; for ($i=0; $i<@m; $i++){ s/\b$m[$i]\b/$i+1/e}'
And, how to generate an email from the command line with custom
from/reply-to headers, use sendmail -t and write down the headers
yourself:
/usr/lib/sendmail -t <<MAIL
