Here is another idea for your email question.
in my .bash_profile I send my self email whn I logon
(that way I know if someone is using my account)
here is the line.
<code>
# email self logon
mail -s "Logon Notification" awerg@creativepage.com "You've logged on."
</code>
description:
=============
mail -s (send)
"Logon Notification" (subject)
awerg@creativepage.com (address sent to)
"You've logged on." (message body)
*note: you can also send the body from a text file
ex: mail -s "Logon Notification" awerg@creativepage.com < messagefile.txt
The system sends the date/time stamp. You can use procmail
to filter these messages into a folder or whatever.
You can extend this idea to any bash/perl/python/ash/zsh/... script.
Hope this helps,
