Using cron would be difficult since it runs jobs on a schedule - reboots don't normally happen that way.

Put a startup script which emails you when the server reboots. Since you didn't post what OS or version you are running, I can't give you specifics of where the script should go (For Solaris in /etc/rc2.d or /etc/rc3.d would be a good place).
You would want it to start after the network is up and running so putting it as S99some-name should work (again, it matters on what your OS is).

Create S99serverup in /etc/rc2.d would send a email to your address at your domain with the hostname and reboot as subject. No internal message but you can change that with information placed into another file if needed.

#!/bin/sh
/bin/mailx -s"`hostname` reboot" youremail@yourdomain.xxx < /dev/null
exit

NAME
script-email - Amanda script to send email notifications DESCRIPTION
script-email is an Amanda script implementing the Script API. It should not be run by users directly. It sends a notification email to the addresses specified in the MAILTO property. PROPERTIES
This section lists the properties that control script-email's functionality. See amanda-scripts(7) for information on the Script API, script configuration. MAILTO List of email addresses that will receive an email on command execution. It is a multi-valued property: property "MAILTO" "amanda@domain.com" "sysadmin@domain.com" "amandauser@domain.com" EXAMPLE
In this example, script-email is scheduled to be run before the DLE, on the server. The unqualified email address amanda will be passed to the email system unchanged. The script is then attached to a dumptype, which can then be specified for any DLEs which require notification. define script-tool pre-email { comment "email me before this DLE is backed up" plugin "script-email" execute-on pre-dle-backup execute-where server property "mailto" "amanda" } define dumptype user-tar-email { user-tar script "pre-email" } SEE ALSO
