Getting an email #299

I did not try this specifically on plexupdate, but I think you should configure the mail address in cron (which by default sends via mail the command output, if there is any, to the owner of crontab, root in this case). Probably you'll need msmtp, in arch wiki there's a good tutorial on how to configure it. |
Hi, I can confirm that it works, I used msmtp / msmtp-hta for this. Currently getting output mailed to myself from /etc/cron.daily/plexupdate. Wasn't easy figuring out all the correct configuration, but that's more a crontab issue. A tip is to manually force (echo) some output when troubleshooting in the "plexupdate.sh" and then run the daily crontab manually: /etc/cron.daily/ |
I created my own branch to send me an email via 'mail' command. I don't know if it's something they want in master, so I'm maintaining it on my own branch. |
@crakerjac If you already have mailutils installed and working, this shouldn't be necessary. You may want to double-check |
Hi,
During installation, the following question was asked:
Should cron send you an email if an update is available/installed? [Y/n] y
Where do I enter my email address? It didn't ask me for my email address.
