    Hi,

    You used to be able to have a short script to notify you via email when someone logs in as root, however on some CentOS 5 + cPanel servers this isnt working, it's returning:

    mail: command not found

    Any ideas?

    yum install mail --> No package mail available.
    you should run :

    ----------------------------
    yum install mailx
    ----------------------------

    kampret is correct. The mail command should be present by default on CentOS 5. It is provided by the mailx package.

    Code:
    # which mail
/bin/mail
# rpm -q --whatprovides /bin/mail
mailx-8.1.1-44.2.2
    Installing mailx using yum will make the mail command available.
