Hi Craig,

Glad you found a solution.

Here's what I was going to reply yesterday, but forgot

to relply, which may give you some other ideas as well:

I have added custom fields to the rush submit and would like to be

able to include the slate notes on the jobdone email to give

production a better idea of what's been done.

Your jobdonecommand can invoke a script that gathers the

info from the files left behind in the log directory, or

from rush itself.

When the jobdonecommand runs, environment variables such

as RUSH_JOBID will be set, which you can use to gather

info about the job with regular rush commands (like 'rush -ljf',

'rush -lf', etc).

Any info you add to the submit form you can save into a

data file in the log directory at submit time, eg:

# SAVE '$in{MySlateInfo}' TO A FILE IN THE RUSH LOG DIRECTORY

#     This will be picked up by the jobdonecommand when the job is done.

#

if ( $in{LogDirectory} ne "-" ) {

    my $slatefile = "$in{LogDirectory}/slate-info.dat";

    open(SLATEFILE, ">$slatefile");

    print SLATEFILE "$in{MySlateInfo}\n";

    close(SLATEFILE);

}

..then, when the job finishes and your jobdonecommand is running,

it can use the RUSH_JOBID or RUSH_LOGFILE variables to determine

the location of the log directory, load the 'slate-info.dat' file

(if it exists) and use that for the emails.

Does anyone know a good way of adding new variables to the

jobdonecommand log or the job log?

To add info to the 'jobdonecommand log', just have your

script print the messages you want to either stdout or stderr

and they'll appear in the jobdonecommand log.

I have used the jobdonecommand.log to pull in the artist's name to the

email from the "Owner" field.

To send mail from the jobdonecommand script, you can use

the various scripting techniques for sending email, such as

perl's Net::SMTP module, eg:

---- snip

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

#

# Example of how to send emails from perl on all platforms (win/unix/osx)

#

use strict;

use Net::SMTP;

my $mailto = "foo\@bar.com";

my $relay  = "relay.bar.com";

my $smtp = Net::SMTP->new($relay);

if ( ! defined($smtp) ) {

    # ERROR OCCURRED -- TRY AGAIN W/DEBUG ENABLED

    $smtp = Net::SMTP->new($relay, Debug => 1);

    if ( !defined($smtp) ) {

        print "ERROR: Could not connect to $relay (see above)\n";

        exit(1);

    }

}

my ($errs, $expect) = (0,0);

$expect++; $errs += $smtp->mail($mailto);

$expect++; $errs += $smtp->to($mailto);

$expect++; $errs += $smtp->data();

$expect++; $errs += $smtp->datasend("From: Foo <$mailto>\n");

$expect++; $errs += $smtp->datasend("To: $mailto\n");

$expect++; $errs += $smtp->datasend("Subject: testing from SMTP/perl\n");

$expect++; $errs += $smtp->datasend("\n");

$expect++; $errs += $smtp->datasend("This is a test\n");

$expect++; $errs += $smtp->datasend("\n");

$expect++; $errs += $smtp->dataend();

$expect++; $errs += $smtp->quit;

print "EXPECT=$expect, ERRORS=$errs\n";

if ( $expect != $errs ) {

    print "SMTP_ERROR=".$smtp->cgi_error()."\n";

}

exit(0);

I've solved the issue by getting the submit script to send an email to

the production team containing Shot/Artist/Frames/Notes and then the

jobdonecommand lets them know when it's complete and ready for review.

Cheers
