We are using a simple shell script that can be placed in
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/bootreport.sh. It sends out an email to
root with the dmesg output, and also sends an email when the
system is being shut down.
#!/bin/sh
HOSTNAME=`/bin/hostname`;
case "$1" in
start)
(echo $HOSTNAME was booted at `/bin/date` ; echo ''; echo '--';
echo ''; echo 'dmesg output:' ; /sbin/dmesg) | mail -s "$HOSTNAME boot" root
;;
stop)
echo $HOSTNAME was shut down on user request at `/bin/date` |
mail -s "$HOSTNAME shutdown" root
;;
*)
echo ""
echo "Usage: `basename $0` { start | stop }"
echo ""
exit 64
;;
esac
