Is that possible? Say like this. I have a small recording device hidden out side my front door. I have a video only feed from a camera hidden near my front door. They both record to a directory called /security and the audio goes into a file called 'date +%Y_%M_%D'audio.mp3 and the video goes into 'date +%Y_%M_%D'video.mpg and I want both of those emailed to my mail server which will automatically strip the mp3 and mpg files and puts them into my database. Except right now, I have to manually mail the binary attachments. Anyway of doing this? nathan
