how to send automatic emails from tomcat

[anand <an...@teamworks.com.sg>]

I have developed a web based time sheet management system. 
 
Now I want to add a new feature whereby every week on a given day and
time, it will check for a particular condition and if it is not
satisfied, it should send out automatic mails through my SMTP server. 
 
If anyone has any idea on this, please reply. 
 
Thanks,
Anand.

Make an application (in java or any other language) that checks the 
conditions and send the email when conditions are not met. Then 
execute this application weekly on a given time, using a scheduler 
or cron job. For this, the solution depends on what operating 
system you use. Windows has Task Scheduler, where unix has I 
think Cron Jobs.
