[EMAIL PROTECTED] And you know, it just occurred to me-- isn't there a kernel option or an option somewhere that I can't remember right now, to enable or disable auto-rebooting on severe errors/kernel panics, something like that? I just realized that I always turn this option (wherever it may be) off (I think it's the kernel, which would explain why I don't remember precisely where it is, since I configure all kernels to be the same as the last, so I set it once and forgot it), and maybe you should too-- that way you might have a better chance of knowing what precisely is causing these spontaneous reboots in the first place, so you could stop them.

RE: [gentoo-user] auto-email on reboot?
What would be an accepted easy way, meaning not too much software setup, etc., to get the machine to email my GMail account every time it reboots? I don't expect that this should happen often, but I'd like to know when it does. Add a line to /etc/conf.d/local.start to either call a script or just use a line like: mail -s System reboot complete [EMAIL PROTECTED] /etc/conf.d/static.mail.txt And that would do it... -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

After that all recordings done for the rest of the day are bad.

I don't expect that this should happen often, but I'd like to know when it does. That's rather simple. Here's what I did: 1.) emerge mailx 2.) emerge mutt 3.) edit /etc/conf.d/local.start echo Mail content | mutt -s Subject -a attachement file [EMAIL PROTECTED] And you're done.

I don't really think it will help here, the system log should contain everything Mark needs, providing it's not a hard reboot that prevents the last log messages being flushed to disk. -- Neil Bothwick Someone who thinks logically is a nice contrast to the real world. pgpsMbnkwHeaW.pgp Description: PGP signature
