# Have the system pause while all the mail elements load,
              sleep 60
            # and then run the script:
              sudo /usr/local/bin/reboot_notify

      Do you need to get root involved?  If a hacker can substitute his reboot_notify for yours, he gets full control.

Being such a beginner, I didn't realize I was creating a problem with root...I took your advice and removed "sudo"...is that enough, or is there something else I should do for security?

           Any script in rc.local is probably called by root, so it's best to follow the example of NUT itself and drop to a non-privileged with something like

           sudo -u nut /usr/local/bin/reboot_notify

I don't understand. I edited the rc.local script to what you indicated ( sudo -u nut ...) and now when the Pi reboots I don't get any messages. I'm afraid I'm too much of a beginner to see what you mean.
