How to add sending an email when autosnap has finished #13

Hello @apprell ,

I really appreciate you providing this script for all to use! I think this is critical within Proxmox.

I'd like to add the function to send me an email when the auto_snap has successfully completed...or perhaps even better if auto_snap failed to complete for some reason. How would I do this? Do I add it to my cron job? Are there parms I need to use to verify the success of the auto_snap completing?

Also, is there a setting within auto_snap to include RAM when the snapshot is taken?

Thanks in advance for any advice you can provide me.

Hello!

Since the script is run from CRON, if there is an error, CRON will send a message in case of an error. To include RAM in the snapshot, there is an includevmstate option that you can use.
