bootmail

systemd service to send mail on system boot and shutdown

  • Place bootmail.service in /etc/systemd/system.
  • Place bootmail.sh in /usr/local/sbin.
  • Enable the systemd service.

Test by issuing "systemctl start bootmail" and "systemctl stop bootmail".

If you use another SMTP agent, replace sendmail.service in the unit file's After clause with the name of your SMTP agent (eg. postfix.service).

Note that the first shutdown won't send an email because the service hasn't yet been started.
