Let's not revert, let's improve.
I will commit a change to add a new configuration option
proxy.config.alarm.arguments that contains a string of arguments that get
passed to the the alarm script. The final invoked command will be:
"%s/%s %s %s %s", proxy.config.alarm.abs_path, proxy.config.alarm.bin,
proxy.config.alarm.arguments, description, alarm
Then I will commit a variation of the original emailing script as a default.
IMHO this supports the original use case, actually works out of the box for
clean installations, and makes sense for sites that don't want this to be
emailed.
