I have a script in ruby that build a software for me once per day and  
when the code is wrong and a error, I don’t if the error has ocurred and  
I don’t know what happened.

I wanna know how I can saw the error, I want that this script tell me  
what happenend by email.

Thanks,

Ivan

You can do that, if this is the question, but IF the question “do it for  
me?” then this would be hard to answer 🙂

Maybe like at some Mail extension for ruby if it not implemented in your  
library already.
