boot up notification
I would like one of my servers to send me an email when it boots. I envision a script in rc.conf to do this. Is there an easier way, or an automatic system which can do this?

This is too bad, as rc.conf is called tens times during boot. Is there an easier way, or an automatic system which can do this? Add to /etc/rc.local, /usr/local/etc/rc.d or '@reboot' crontab line. -netch- ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

You could set up a cronjob to run at '@reboot': $ crontab -l @reboot echo | mail -s The eagle has landed root See crontab(5). ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I would like one of my servers to send me an email when
it boots. I envision a script in rc.conf to do this.
Is there an easier way, or an automatic system which can do this?
We are using a simple shell script that can be placed in
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/bootreport.sh. It sends out an email to
root with the dmesg output, and also sends an email when the
system is being shut down.
#!/bin/sh
HOSTNAME=`/bin/hostname`;
case $1 in
start)
(echo $HOSTNAME was booted at `/bin/date` ; echo ''; echo '--';
echo ''; echo 'dmesg output:' ; /sbin/dmesg) | mail -s $HOSTNAME boot root
;;
stop)
echo $HOSTNAME was shut down on user request at `/bin/date` |
mail -s $HOSTNAME shutdown root
;;
*)
echo
echo Usage: `basename $0` { start | stop }
echo
exit 64
;;
esac

Put a little script in /usr/local/etc/rc.d name it something like /usr/local/etc/rc.d/bootmail.sh In it, put something like: #!/bin/sh echo Coming Up at: `date` | /usr/bin/mail -s 'Boot Notice' [EMAIL PROTECTED] exit 0 Make sure it has execute permission and it will run at boot time. It will send you an Email message complete with the date when it boots. Note the _back_ single quotes around date. jerry Jim ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
