Re: [gentoo-server] Scripting fun

[RijilV]

echo "$CHECK_RESULT" | /bin/mail -s "$HOSTNAME glsa-check" root@×××××××.com

FWIW $HOSTNAME should be present in the standard environmnet, makes
the script a bit more protable if you use it.  Also, is there a reason
you're running the command twice?  Moreover, if you set it up as a
cronjob you could just let cron take care of emailing you if there is
any output, and suspress the output if glsa-check doesn't print
anything..
