[mythtv-users] Feature request: e-mail notify

[Tony Maro]

I just noticed my mythfilldatabase failed this morning, and I think 
yesterday as well.

So I got to thinking, what about an admin e-mail notification setting 
that would notify someone upon certain events.

I would want it to have an SMTP setting because I won't be running 
sendmail or postfix on the box, nor will I be checking e-mail directly 
on it.  I'd want it to send outbound mail to my network server (or to 
your ISP's server.)

Conditions justifying an e-mail might be:

mythfilldatabase failed
HD Space getting low on partition holding recordings directory
backend crashed
Someone attempted to bypass the security locks and failed (in other 
words the kids are trying to guess passwords to watch adult shows)
MySQL server unreachable

It's just an idea, and I know much of what I suggest could be done with 
another app or by modifying scripts on the system, but integration into 
MythTV would be nice.  Then again, the configuration screens for MythTV 
are already soooooo complex, I can't imagine adding another screen.
