 Unix Tip #4513- July 20, 2025
 
DID IT REBOOT?  
  
If you believe your users  
like to reboot their systems,  
here is a way you will be  
able to detect it.  
  
  
#!/bin/ksh  
#  
# Boot Notification Script  
# /etc/rc2.d/S99notify - Sends e-mail notification to the  
administrators  
# when the system is booted.  
#  
  
#*****************************************************************  
  
PATH=/usr/sbin:/usr/bin  
  
DATE="`date`"  
  
SRVNM=`uname -n`  
  
# The next variable can be set for multiple addresses  
# (i.e. jsmith@yahoo.com,jsmith@hotmail.com)  
MAILADD=monitor  
  
mail $MAILADD <
From: $0  
To: $MAILADD  
Subject: Boot of $SRVNM  
  
$DATE  
  
$SRVNM has booted up.
