Amahi monitoring via email
Posted: Mon Nov 22, 2010 7:14 am
Amahi has some automatic monitoring going on via anacron and cron. These send email so 'root' (or are suppose to), plus there is additional monitoring that can and should be done and emailed to the admin.
Option 1: Install Squirrelmail to allow remote reading of root's mail folder.
Option 2: at install time:
creat /root/.forward with email installer's email addr (picked up from Amahi.org account?). Note most users would NOT want there reports going to foo@gmial.com or bar @yahoo.com!
start sendmail and set chkconfig for it to always run.
install logwatch
All the hourly emails could be a pain and it would be nice if there was a way to get just a daily digest of the hourly missives.
Please comment on this before I submit this as a bug/feature.
