Was there actually a poll taken about who is using mail on their
desktops? I didn't see one, so I don't know the percentage of MTA
users, but as a long-time technical user, I have always run an MTA and
use it often as a lightweight way to communicate results of jobs such as
backups, SPICE simulations, general cron cleanup scripts and so forth.
All it takes is to add something like:
echo "Memory error in cleanup script" | mail staff
Boom. I get timely notification right where I need it - in the
one place that I check multiple times per day - my inbox.
I guess I'll just add one more thing to my post-install checklist.
One of the nice things about UNIX is the clean and minimal ethic that it
was born with. I think that we need to work to keep it as simple as
possible - especially in the core system. Otherwise it becomes nearly
impossible to learn and less maintainable over time.
kind regards,
