In our operations, it is common to have reports that takes more than 10 minutes to run. It is quite common that these reports are sent to bacth job and process in the background. However, many users may find it troublesome to have to monitor the jobs that they’d sent.
Here is one way to resolve these issues. If you are using UNIX, you can create a simple Shell Script that captures the output from your MFG/PRO report and using “sendmail” command to redirect the output to the email.
After you have created the script, please it into the printer setup and treat it as a printer.
This is a simple and effective solution that I had implemented for some of my customers running UNIX.
