There wasn't an "on_picture_save" option in
/usr/local/etc/motion/motion.conf. I added it and pointed it to my gmail
account but I never got an e-mail when someone was in in the rooms. Yes,
I restarted motion and even rebooted the computer to be sure. Also, I
tried using "on_event_start" as shown at
https://htmlpreview.github.io/?https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Motion-Project/motion/master/motion_config.html#on_motion_detected
string used in motion.conf: on_motion_detected mpack -s "Your Security
Camera has detected Motion!" %f [email protected]

You could use your script on camera lost to write a file and then delete it
with a script when the camera is reacquired.? Then your cron job can just check
for the existence of the file..?

I check this way:
connection=`curl --silent http://localhost:8080/1/detection/connection |
grep OK`
if [ ! -z "$connection" ]; then status="online"; fi
