    You can use smbutil to post a text file from a timed event or the command line.

    Indeed, smbutil can be used for auto-posting (or auto-netmail/email), but postmsg.js is the newer/preferred method. :-)

    Ahh, good to know. I've been meaning to add a timed event here. When I do I'll use postmsg.js
