[SAC] root email

Shawn,

I see that you are getting the root email for www.osgeo.org. Did you
happen to see one about a web_svn_refresh.sh cron job run last night?

How much root email do you get? I wonder if we should archive it on the
server as well as forwarding to you, so that others could dip into it
from time to time.

Best regards,

No i haven't seen a web_svn_refresh cron run.

On average i get 50 root emails a day. Mostly from cron. Definitely
archiving it would be good. we could create a mailing list for it and
have all the email sent to the list.

Shawn,

I have created a ticket to address this action, and written:

I am somewhat dubious about the security of having root email being
distributed by a mailman list. I'm also not keen on being attached to this
firehose. What I would like to suggest to start is that we archive the root
email locally on the machine in a known location, and that some effort be made
to tune down the volume of email (by making cron scripts un-noisy for
instance) so Shawn isn't so overwhelmed.

Any comments welcome there. I'll start work on archiving the email and
seeing if some "tuning down" can be done.

Best regards,
