Probably not the best option for desktop systems (there's nothing "clickable"), but very useful for servers.
Sounds good. Just how do I get to the e-mails?
They are sent to root, and redirected to your user if you checked the "receive system mail" checkbox while creating the user. If unsure: grep root: /etc/aliases Point your mail client to read /var/spool/mail/$USERNAME - that's where the mails are delivered to. (Assuming you didn't edit /etc/aliases.) You can also change the mail recipient in /etc/sysconfig/patch2mail, but changing the root alias in /etc/aliases is usually the better choice. Don't forget to run newaliases after editing /etc/aliases ;-)
I assume this is the same sort of thing that AppArmor does?
No, appArmor currently can't send any mails. (Except if you use something like aa-status -v -s 1 | mail -s aa-status root of course ;-) Regards, Christian Boltz -- [20:01] * mrdocs grabs a snack first [20:01] <suseROCKs> hmm last time mrdocs said he was going to grab a snack, we didn't see him again for a week [from #opensuse-project] -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
