You want an email every time any error occurs? Or are you trying to monitor something specific?

It sounds like you need a monitoring program like nagios with some plugins.

Configured the right way, it sends e-mails in case of high cpu-usage, services that are down, etc.

i want to monitor the error occurs for the moment. If is possible to monitor the traffic in the future is ok. But yesterday my comp was down (electricity crash) and i want to receive an e-mail when i have problems like that. I have a slack ftp vsftpd server with kde

thanks
