how to make a C program send email notification/alerts?


Hi,

I'm writing a C program in linux that needs to run unattended and reliably for long periods of time. I want to give it the ability to email me if something goes wrong (e.g. running out of HD space and other problems). Can anyone recommend a nice and simple way of doing this?

Thanks in advance.
Matt

A www.google.com/linux search for "mail library" turned up some hits. The first two being:

libESMTP
libEtPan

If you don't want to hook into a library, then you'll have to make do with using a system call to run "mail" or something similar.
