How to receive a mail on client connection and disconnecti ?

infomax

Hi, i see we can use script, so we would like to receive a mail when a client is connecting to our server, and when he lost the connection?

Can we do that and how?

We are using openvpon 2.1.0 on Linux.

thanks

Use a 'client-connect' and 'client-disconnect' script. The script would do something like

#!/bin/bash
echo "$script_type $common_name" | mail someuser@somehost

some work on your part is required: read the HOWTO and manual page, or buy my book and read chapter 6 😉
