is there a way to get an email notification when the source drops?

It happens to me at least once a week that a source from a 3rd world country goes offline (long poweroutage that drains the UPS, ISP down, etc)

Thanks

Use on-disconnect or auth url option mount_end to run a script which will do the email notification.

Does anybody have an example of one of these scripts that generates an email to a specified email address? I'm using qmail on Centos 4.7 if that makes any difference.

For example, the help documentation gives this as an example:
<on-connect>/home/icecast/bin/source-start</on-connect>

so what would be in the /home/icecast/bin/source-start file?

it could be as simple as
Code:

#!/bin/sh
echo "stream $1 has just started" | mail -s "$1 started" account@addr.org


As you can see, not a really difficult thing to understand
