I wanted to be able to notify a group of people when any backup starts
or ends, so I did some googling and found an archived email on this
list about how I might do it.
I made a script with the following contents as a test and named it
startbkpemail.sh (just used the example name from the post) and added
the a line '/usr/local/bin/startbkpemail.sh $host $type'; in the
DumpPreUserCmd field in the host config - but it is not executing it.
Any suggestions? The permissions on the file are 777 for testing so I
know that is not the problem.
#!/bin/sh
#
SUBJECT="Backup for Production Server: $1 has started."
TO="[email protected]"
MESSAGE="/tmp/message.txt"
echo "Server Name: $1" >> $MESSAGE
echo "Backup Type: $2" >> $MESSAGE
echo "" >> $MESSAGE
echo "Confirmation will be sent when backup completes." >> $MESSAGE
echo "" >> $MESSAGE
echo "THIS IS AN AUTOMATED EMAIL" >> $MESSAGE
/bin/mail -s "$SUBJECT" "$TO" < $MESSAGE
echo "done" >> /tmp/test.txt
rm $MESSAGE
