NAME

6       Mailx plugin for abrt(8)
7

DESCRIPTION

9       abrt  is  a  daemon  that watches for application crashes. When a crash
10       occurs, it collects the crash data and takes action  according  to  its
11       configuration. This manual page describes the Mailx plugin for abrt.
12
13       This  plugin  is  used  to mail the data about the crash to a specified
14       mail address.
15

INVOCATION

17       The plugin is invoked in the abrt.conf configuration file. It can  take
18       one parameter, a subject of the mail (if it differs from the one speci‐
19       fied in the Mailx.conf configuration file).
20

CONFIGURATION

22       The Mailx.conf configuration file contains several entries in a  format
23       "Option = Value". The options are:
24
25   Subject
26       The subject of the mail.
27
28   Parameters
29       The  Mailx  plugin  executes  the  external "mailx" command to send the
30       mail. This option defines  some  additional  command  line  parameters,
31       which should be added to the program invocation, if any.
32
33   EmailFrom
34       The address from which the email is sent.
35
36   EmailTo
37       The address to which the email is sent.
38
39   SendBinaryData
40       Can  be "yes" or "no". If set to "yes", the email will also contain the
41       binary files associated with the crash. Warning:  this  can  cause  the
42       emails to be large! (several MB)
43

EXAMPLES

45       These are snippets from the abrt.conf configuration file.
46
47       1) Each time a crash happens, a mail is sent
48
49       [common]
50       ActionsAndReporters = Mailx("[abrt] a crash occurs")
51
52       2) When a program in a specific package (in this case "httpd") crashes,
53       send a mail about it.
54
55       [AnalyzerActionsAndReporters]
56       CCpp:httpd = Mailx("[abrt] Apache crash")
