email at startup

[hallohome]

is there a way to send a notification right after the start of my Qnap 639 ?? I (and some users) start the Qnap over WOL and I want a email that the device is ready. Is there a way to do this ?? If not I think it is a nice feature for office Admins Like me, because every time someone Wakes the Qnap I have an Email.

Easy to do already. Simply create your "autorun.sh" file on your NAS. See QNAPedia article: Running Your Own Application at Startup; (Use the MTD method, despite what the Wiki says).

Assuming that your SSMTP Server on the NAS is properly configured, and you can successfully send test notification e-mails. The following script would do it for you.

(Note you will need to modify the SendTo, SendFrom, and (possibly Subject) variables at the top of the script

/share/homes/admin/bin/wol-notify.sh

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh
#
# wol-notify.sh - aka /share/homes/admin/bin/wol-notify.sh
#
#  This script e-mails the designated recipient upon NAS Startup. 
#  See QNAP Forum article: http://forum.qnap.com/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=99093
# 
SendTo="me@somewhere.com"
SendFrom="TS-639@XXXXXX.myqnapcloud.com"
Subject="$(/bin/hostname) started at: $(/bin/date)" 
#
rm -f /tmp/wol-notify.email
touch /tmp/wol-notify.email
echo "From: ${SendFrom}"     >>/tmp/wol-notify.email
echo "To: ${SendTo}"         >>/tmp/wol-notify.email
echo "Subject: ${Subject}"   >>/tmp/wol-notify.email
echo " "		     >>/tmp/wol-notify.email
cat <<EOF >>/tmp/nasreport
echo "NAS Model:      $(getsysinfo model)"
echo "Firmware:       $(getcfg system version) Build $(getcfg system 'Build Number')"
echo "System Name:    $(/bin/hostname)"
echo "Workgroup:      $(getcfg system workgroup)"
echo "Base Directory: $(dirname \$(getcfg -f /etc/config/smb.conf Public path))"
echo "NAS IP address: $(ifconfig $(getcfg network 'Default GW Device') | grep addr: | awk '{ print $2 }' | cut -d: -f2)"
echo " " 
EOF
cat /tmp/wol-notify.email | /usr/sbin/sendmail -t 
rm -f /tmp/wol-notify.email
echo "Done." 
#done

If you save this script to the same location and make it executable, you can run if from the command line as often as you want, and you can run this from your "autorun.sh" file at every restart.

Code: Select all

chmod +x /share/homes/admin/bin/wol-notify.sh

Test this script from the command line, and modify it to your own specifications. When you get the desired output (ie an e-mail from the NAS) successfully, you can add this to your "autorun.sh" file so that it "auto-runs" at every Startup.

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh
#
# NAS Autorun.sh file
#
touch /tmp/autorun.ran
/share/homes/admin/bin/wol-notify.sh
#done

You can create this autorun.sh file on your NAS with:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh
#
#  Create the "autorun.sh" file on my TS-639 Pro
#
mount /dev/sdx6 /tmp/config
touch /tmp/config/autorun.sh
chmod +x /tmp/config/autorun.sh
cat << EOF >> /tmp/config/autorun.sh
#!/bin/sh
#
# NAS Autorun.sh file
#
touch /tmp/autorun.ran
/share/homes/admin/bin/wol-notify.sh
#done

EOF
umount /tmp/config
#done
