Good evening, I just realized I'm no longer receiving email notification on system reboots. This quit working between April 23rd and April 27th.
The following lines are in /etc/conf.d/local.start # Record system restart echo "System restart on `date +%F` at `date +%R`" >> /var/log/reboot.log (on one line, of course) # Send email notification that the system just restarted source /etc/profile (tried without this too) /usr/bin/date | /bin/mailx -s "System restarted" [EMAIL PROTECTED] I get the following error message when /etc/init.d/local is set to run in the default runlevel. send-mail: account default not found: no configuration file available Can't send mail: sendmail process failed with error code 78 If I restart local, or remove it from default runlevel and start it manually, there is no error and the email is sent fine. This is what was installed/upgraded during that timeframe: Mon Apr 24 12:43:58 2006 >>> kde-base/kdegames-3.5.2 Mon Apr 24 17:34:50 2006 >>> kde-base/kdegraphics-3.5.2 Mon Apr 24 18:04:33 2006 >>> kde-base/kdeedu-3.5.2 Mon Apr 24 18:06:11 2006 >>> kde-base/kde-3.5.2 Tue Apr 25 07:20:24 2006 >>> sys-devel/gcc-config-1.3.13-r2 Tue Apr 25 08:38:20 2006 >>> sys-libs/glibc-2.3.6-r3 Tue Apr 25 08:38:53 2006 >>> app-misc/pax-utils-0.1.11-r1 Tue Apr 25 08:39:32 2006 >>> sys-apps/baselayout-1.12.0_pre18-r1 Tue Apr 25 08:40:18 2006 >>> media-sound/alsa-headers-1.0.11 Tue Apr 25 08:43:24 2006 >>> media-libs/alsa-lib-1.0.11 Tue Apr 25 08:44:24 2006 >>> media-sound/alsa-utils-1.0.11 Tue Apr 25 08:44:53 2006 >>> app-portage/portage-utils-0.1.15 Tue Apr 25 08:45:51 2006 >>> app-editors/nano-1.3.10-r1 Tue Apr 25 08:48:15 2006 >>> sys-fs/xfsprogs-2.7.11 Tue Apr 25 08:48:44 2006 >>> sys-apps/memtest86+-1.65 Tue Apr 25 11:19:29 2006 >>> net-misc/tightvnc-1.2.9-r1 System uses mailx and msmtp.
