Was there a setting to enabled an email to be sent when the server needed a reboot?
I cannot remember where it is or if it was added. Does anyone know?
thanks
Use system monitors, not to be confused with servers status
I am sure this was a specific feature jamie was going to, or has added.
I have just changed my email address for notifications so I will need to wait until another reboot is mandated.
Yes i found it in system monitors, where you can add any email address you want and even get the server to reboot if thats what you want to do
I don’t think that’s any of our business. It’s an OS-level thing, and we don’t currently configure the OS-provided automated updates on any of our supported systems.
You can have unattended-upgrades send you an email (configured in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50unattended-upgrades) on Ubuntu and Debian.
You can configure dnf automatic upgrades to send you an email in /etc/dnf/automatic.conf.
You will only have have a reboot notification on upgrades, so if you’re upgrading in Webmin, I guess you’ll be looking at the UI and see the notice at that time.
I guess Webmin also has an automatic updates feature, but if you have an OS that offers automatic upgrades, I think I’d recommend you use it.
And, finally, I guess there’s an argument for offering a configuration module for the automatic upgrade systems on our supported systems…so, a Webmin module for unattended-upgrades and DNF Automatic.
This is to cover kernel level upgrade which are applied automatically but sometimes a reboot is required
@Jamie , did you add this feature I know we talked about it I just cannot remember what happened.
@joe I have automatic updates turned off but webmin sends me an email when security updates are available. I thought Jamie might of added the reboot email notification under this option.
It’s not part of the security / package updates email, but you can setup a notification when a reboot is required at Webmin → Tools → System and Server Status.
thanks
