[mdlug] RAID Monitor Script

[Stan Green]

From what I can see, mdadm is limited in its ability to send email. It only 
has space for one address and seems to only be able to send it to the local 
host. (Mike's script solves both these issues.) I almost never log into the 
server, so I need to send the mail to another server. I've looked into the 
source code and it would not be to hard to add more email functionality. I've 
given it a little thought, but have not yet decided to do it. (Time is always 
the issue.)

Regards,
Stan Green
