+On chimera account on plato.cgl.ucsf.edu run from a bash shell:
+
+/usr/local/etc/periodic/scripts/daily_chimerax_build 2>&1 | cat -v | /usr/bin/Mail -s 'ChimeraX build results' chimera-staff@cgl.ucsf.edu
+
+== Details from Eric Pettersen ==
+
+On plato, you need to have the ability to run commands as user "chimera".  When I run "sudo -l" on plato, the output includes this line:
+
+    (chimera) NOPASSWD: ALL
+
+which indicates that I can do "sudo -u chimera command" without a password.  To find the command, I grep /usr/local/etc/periodic/periodic.conf for "chimera", and the output includes this line:
+
+0 2 * * * su chimera -c "/usr/local/etc/periodic/scripts/daily_chimerax_build 2>&1 | cat -v | /usr/bin/Mail -s 'ChimeraX build results' chimera-staff@cgl.ucsf.edu"
+
+So I do "sudo -u chimera bash" to get a bash shell as user chimera, and then paste in the command part of what I just grepped (and add '&' to put it in the background).
