If you are not using a fully qualified domain name you may have problems
using the mail command. So I use a little script called /etc/sendlogs:
#!/bin/sh
echo "mail from: [EMAIL PROTECTED]" > /tmp/tmplogs
echo "rcpt to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]" >> /tmp/tmplogs
echo "data" >> /tmp/tmplogs
cat /var/log/messages >> /tmp/tmplogs
echo "." >> /tmp/tmplogs
echo "quit" >> /tmp/tmplogs
cat /tmp/tmplogs | mnc smtp.server.name 25
rm -f /tmp/tmplogs
<< EOF >>
and edit crontab with: ae /etc/crontab
# /etc/crontab: system-wide crontab
# Unlike any other crontab you don't have to run the `crontab'
# command to install the new version when you edit this file.
# This file also has a username field, that none of the other crontabs
do.
SHELL=/bin/sh
PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin
# m h dom mon dow user command
05 1,3,6,9,12,15,18,21,23 * * * root /etc/sendlogs
<< EOF >>
Backup with lrcfg : b) Back-up ramdisk : 2) etc
That's one solution, the others will give other alternatives. That
depends on your ISP's SMTP server....
