[OmniOS-discuss] email notifications from SMF and FMA

[Matjaž M]

The easiest way to send an email from CLI or crontab I found is Heirloom mailx. You can find it here:
http://heirloom.sourceforge.net/mailx.html <http://heirloom.sourceforge.net/mailx.html>

You will need to make/make install yourself.


And then you can use info on how to set it up from here:

BR, Matjaz
