First the command itself, showing gmail settings here by default but obviously fill in with your own details:

Does it work? I thought gmail required OAuth nowadays and you couldn't use plain username & password for authentication anymore.

gmail still allows the creation of app passwords.

OK, then it works for now I guess.

I always cringe when I see MSPs that set up their clients MFPs and other devices using random gmail accounts.

IMHO it's unprofessional and much better to use a real transactional email service for these kinds of applications.

It depends. If it is going out to customers, then it's weird. If it is for purely internal stuff then transactional email doesn't make too much sense. But if it is internal, normally you can just use whatever internal tool you already have.

Typical scenario with gmail is that someone sets up a MFP to use a random gmail address for sending alerts and scanned documents.

When the user scans the document it's often sent to his own email address [email protected]. So primarily internal.

Well, problem is that gmail saves mail sent over SMTP in the sent folder. Which means that the "printer guy", who if often not even an employee, can read all the scanned document that was ever scanned and emailed by logging in to the gmail account he set up.

And of course sent email coming from outside your domains might be flagged as spam. So people scan documents and it doesn't work. I mean the list of problems is long.

Well when lots and lots of companies still demand to only use Gmail already, it's not so weird.

You'd be amazing how often we get people requiring that they stay on Yahoo and AOL addresses for their businesses. I kid you not.

@wirestyle22 just a thought, but can you remove the out of date version and leave just the current 1.0.1?

Here is Firefox headless mode:
Firefox uses the same browser, just run with the headless switch. Works from version 57 and newer.

Thanks. I won't be able to use this with brightsign, but it might work if I have to run windows for a site that I can't view a public dashboard.

Here is alist of other updates for it

I was pretty surprised to find that uuidgen was not available, not even available for install!

The same issue Happened while using

Curl -L URL.com

Because of that I am going for Remote login

Yup, I prefer wget but have mostly stopped using it (or installing it.) I learned wget before I knew of curl (this is all long ago.) Today, I just assume that I have curl and wget is nearly never there.

Of course it exists (awesome things tend to get ported 😉 ), I use it all the time, and I have for years. It's pretty great. Not only that but you can get a lot of tools on Windows:

http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/

I can't use Windows without this, that is the base and a lot of the packages (wget especially; yes I use both wget and curl :P)

what are the settings I should set my Windows command prompt to to get that view? Currently using curl on Windows, I just get garbage.

You can connect from PuTTY to a better OS that is easier to use 😉

When connecting from PuTTY, what would I be connecting to? Currently BASH isn't available with a SSH connection on Windows 10.

Linux of course. Windows is the problem. Bypass it.

Ronald Reagan should've said that.

He probably did.

Sweet, just tried it here, works great.

Still like the output from my script better--more PowerShellish. It's also quite a bit faster (the ifconfig.me site seems pretty sluggish).
