[rancid] Re: Email notifications

[Steve Ousley]

That should work :)

I actually have a script that runs that runs rancid-run and then the file
backup anyway, so I might just add a bit to the end of that that mails us on
successful completion of that, and then use this method in cron to mail if
it failed.

Thanks Tom :)

How about something in cron like this?

    rancid-run && backup-files || mail -s 'rancid or backup of rancid
failed' interested at my.domain </dev/null

Runs rancid, if successful, runs the backup script.
If either fail it sends the email.
