Any way to send email? #248

Hello. This tool is great but I do not see any way of sending email when it is finished or before reboot with the list of upgraded package? Seems there was a contrib, but it is not included... Any idea?

Hi, You can add a hook script for any of the different phases which could be used to send an email.

e.g. If you wanted to send an email after running auter --apply then you would create a script and add it to the /etc/auter/post-apply.d directory and it would be run just after the packages have been installed, but prior to any configured reboots.

You could send the contents of /var/lib/auter/last-apply-output-default which is the output from the most recent apply phase.

Hope that helps
