Assuming your question is "how to write a script that sends mail" and not "how to get MRTG to call a script", you could do something like the following: --snip-- #!/usr/bin/sh TO="your.name at your.address.com" POST () { mail $1 <<! Subject: Traffic is at 0% Here is the body of the message. You can put multiple lines of text here. What delineates the end of the message body is a ! on a line all by itself. The beginning of the message was the ! above. ! } POST $TO --snip-- You could also keep the message body in a separate file and then just run cat file.txt|mail you at your.address.com but I think it's easier to maintain if everything is stored in one file.
