System Alert Emails

Your Linux system will generate a daily system administration status email sent to the root account. Also, the sipX watchdog process will send an email to the user sipx if processes of the sipx system had to be restarted or other error conditions the administrator would like to be informed about. If you would like to get these messages forwarded to your email account, edit the last line in the file /etc/aliases as follows and make sure sendmail is running:

  1. Error messages from sipx
    sipx: root
  2. Person who should get root's mail
    root: user@gmail.com

Run

sudo newaliases

to re-create the aliases db after editing this file.

Your system is now installed.
