How do I email from kdb?

[Varun Tomar]

I would like to email whenever the value of a variable is -1 . how do i go about emailing?

Could you please help. I would like to set the subject of the email to "Error: " .

why not just use command line mail from kdb? e.g.

system"mail -s \"Error: foobar\ mys...@me.com"

(if you're unix)

If you can’t use that, or you want something slightly less straightforward :-) then TorQ has an email lib (it’s a wrapper around libcurl).  It has builds for l32, l64, m32, m64, w32.  It would be fairly straight forward to strip it out of TorQ if required.  You’ll need the relevant libs:

This file will show some of the variables and how to initialise it etc.:

It’s documented here in section 6.5:
