| MIF | how can I have my server send a email just before it shuts down? | 02:14 |
|---|---|---|
| sarnold | the 'easy' way is to write a little script for you to use to shut it down, that'll send the email, sleep for a bit or loop for a bit to check if the email was actually sent, and *then* shutdown | 02:17 |
| sarnold | trying to hook the existing tooling might be difficult, since shutting down the email server would be part of the shutdown tasks.. | 02:17 |
| MIF | where would I look to hook into the tooling? | 02:19 |
| sarnold | MIF: check out systemd.special(7), it describes a *lot* of targets for this; poweroff.target, exit.target, halt.target, shutdown.target, omg too many :) | 02:22 |
| MIF | ok | 02:22 |
| MIF | thanks | 02:22 |
| sarnold | MIF: you'd juggle the various dependency lines in a .service file to either be 'running' your thing the entire lifetime of the machine and then have an ExecStop or similar to send a mail.. or perhaps a service file that's Wanted by one of these targets, I'm not sure which path is more likely to be successful | 02:23 |
| sarnold | MIF: you'd probably also need to declare reationships to the mail server, Requires= .. | 02:24 |
| MIF | can't I just edit the stop file for the mailserver? | 02:24 |

| rbasak | I thought you wanted an email sent just before the server shuts down, rather than an email sent just before the mail server service is stopped :) | 02:31 |
| MIF | when it is shuting down | 02:31 |
| MIF | any time | 02:31 |
| MIF | so if it crashes | 02:31 |
| MIF | it will let me know | 02:31 |
| sarnold | probably you want an off-machine monitoring service then | 02:34 |
| MIF | are there any free ones that you know of? | 02:36 |
| sarnold | nagios is kind of the ancient king | 02:36 |
| MIF | I can't afford anything | 02:38 |
| sarnold | that's fine, there's almost too many free choices :) | 02:45 |
| sarnold | it'd be easier if there were just a few, but there's *so many* to choose from that it's easy to suffer from analysis paralysis | 02:45 |
| MIF | lol | 02:45 |

| icey | coreycb: tobias-urdin: not that I know of | 12:28 |
| coreycb | if not we can get it going, I assume it upgrades ok | 12:29 |
| raub | Embarassingly trivial question of the day: can I select a network interface in preseed given its MAC address? | 13:15 |
| tobias-urdin | weird that you haven't hit that yet since it's required for mysql 8 | 13:29 |
| tomreyn | raub: preseed is dead | 18:04 |
