can ESX send an Email ?

[SebastiaNet]

Good morning. I would like to send an Email from ESX 4 from a "cron" task.

Can someone provide a pointer to any info explaining how to do it ? A sample would be very welcome ... jejeje

Thanks a lot. Sebastian.

Paul : your first URL uses "MAIL" and "SENDMAIL" commands, that are not available on ESX.

The second URL moves into SSH, but not to "mail" ...

Third goes into SNMP configuration, but no mais is sent, as far as I can see ...

Thanks anyway.
