Basic monitoring of Scalix with ommaint

Use the ommaint script to do basic monitoring of the Scalix environment. The script is typically run as a cron from the crontab. Contained within the comments (at the top) of file are three lines that may be pasted directly into /etc/crontab. Typically the script is placed in the /usr/local/bin directory. Dont forget to give "chmod +x ommaint" before executing it. By default the script will send notifications (by mail) to root. However, if you would like to have them sent other sources, update the MAIL_REPORTS variable in the script.
