Email Notification when Command finishes

[James SEYMOUR]

Hi,

I tried to see if this has already been covered, but couldn't find anything.

Is there a way to get notified when a command finishes? There is the option for the todrive (although I have the email & browser options turned off) but I am looking for something similar when running a "copy drivefile" command.

I am using gam csv gsheet <User Email Address> <Sheet ID> Sheet1 gam user ~SharedDriveUser copy drivefile ~FolderToCopyID excludetrashed recursive copytopfolderpermissions false copyfilepermissions false copysubfolderpermissions false teamdriveparentid ~SharedDriveID newfilename "~NewName". This is creating a copy of a Shared Drive folder and I would like to know when it has completed.

Thanks in advance.

You could just do that natively in Unix, no need for an extra GAM command. For example:

gam print users ; echo "body" | mailx -s "subject" f...@bar.com

The mail command won’t execute until the GAM command finishes.

Hope that helps,

You can also just have GAM email you. If you saved the results to a file that can be the body:

Thanks Ian & Jay,

In the end I went with Jay's suggestion, to keep it all within GAM. For me, running GAMADV-XTD3 in the cloud (on Linux) I opted for this solution.

gam <Full GAM Command> && gam user <User Email Address> sendemail subject "<Subject Line Text>" recipient <Recipient Email Address>

Generally I will be the recipient and will only need the subject line to convey the message that the command has finished. But it does open up possibilities for informing other users if needed.

Cheers

James

Although this may be more 'accurate'

gam <Full GAM Command> && gam sendemail recipient <Recipient Email Address> subject "<Subject Line Text>"  from <User Email Address>
