Windows Email Notifier?

With the --postexec argument to dom3. You just whip up a custom shortcut to start your dom3 server. You probably want to use things like --textonly --tcpserver --port and so forth anyway, so just add another arg.

You can install cygwin on Windows and use Linux scripts.

Bit of overkill though, for someone who just wants simple email notifications for their dom3 game.

It's useful for all kind of things that are otherwise very difficult on Windows. But considering that it's essentially a large set of many convenient utilities, it's hard for most people to find a "must install" reason for cygwin

Thanks Nick.... used your script and it seems to be working great!

Glad I could help out. I wrote that script because I simply cannot stand to play in a game without email notifications. I'm simply too scatterbrained and can't manage to remember to check every day for new turns without some sort of prompting. Necessity truly is the mother of invention.
