I've now installed the script. But I've never set up any mail service as root on the remote machine. What do I do to ensure it mails me, do I have to set up an account in a mailing app?
You have to configure "mail" as you would configure Thunderbird to send mail. Read the man page...
No need to setup a mail service, but of course you can - I do, I find it more reliable.
Ah ok. I've heard of things like pine, alpine, mutt, etc., though never used them. I didn't know there was just a generic thing called 'mail'. I'll look into it. gumb -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
