No internet - email notification

In fact I have 2 routers both configured with a DDNS acccount.

I wanted to setup a script, whereby I can send email notification in case internet service is down on the router.

For example,

ping router1.ddns.net , gets reply, internet is OK. ping router2.ddns.net, no reply, internet not OK, sends an email notification.

Note I do have a firewall, but it does not have the capability to send notification if internet service is down.

ping email bash

you can use mailx (my preference since it is the easiest)

echo "this is the body of the email" | mailx -vvv -s "test mail" -r "From" -S smtp="your-smtp" someone@address

gmail configuration example

vi ~/.mailrc

account gmail {
    set smtp-use-starttls
    set ssl-verify=ignore
    set smtp-auth=login
    set smtp=smtp://smtp.gmail.com:587
    set from="noreply@yourdomain.com(Your Real Name)"
    set smtp-auth-user=noreply@yourdomain.com
    set smtp-auth-password=your_less_secure_apps_password
    set ssl-verify=ignore
}

then

echo -e "Mail body text" | mailx -A gmail -s "Mail subject" your@email
