RE: A few questions (auto mail script + SSH related)

You can also send the body of the e-mail to the 'mail' command (/bin/mail on
my system), instead of sending directly to sendmail. I use the following
line to e-mail me when my modem redials (perm link with auto redial), so I
can make sure my phone bill isn't higher than it should be.

/bin/date | /bin/mail zivkotech -s 'Modem reconnect'

It sends the e-mail from the current user.

I wish I could get it so it'd e-mail it every time it attempts to dial (so I
know when the reconnect fails), but that's something I may try to do some
other time.
