Hello,
next week I'll install logrotate on a centos 4.4 server via yum.
The man page says that the default mail command is /bin/mail -s, but
there is no such binary on Centos.
I do have mutt installed, however, so I would like to use it. Ideally,
I would like to have logrotate send logs with mutt as attachments like
this:
mutt me@xxxxxxxxxxxx -a compressed_log_file -s "here are your log files"
ie send the log as attachment, not email body. But the logrotate man page says:
--mail <command>
Tells logrotate which command to use when mailing
logs. This command should accept two arguments: 1) the
subject of the message, and 2) the recipient.
The command must then read a message on standard input and
mail it to the recipient.
so I have not clear how to make it use mutt as I want. Is it OK to say
--mail 'mutt me@xxxxxxxxxxxx -a compressed_log_file -s "here are your log files"'
or will logrotate send the log in the email _body_?
I will check myself the first time logrotate runs, but I thought it
would be nice to know if others are already usign mutt with logrotate
and document here on the list the whole setup.
Thanks,
M.
