Re: [Bigsister-general] Monitoring sendmailqueue

[little <suppressed>]

But is there also a way that you call a script in the cron  "ls 
/var/spool/mqueue | wc -l > mailqueuvalue"  and then monitor the 
mailqueuevalue with bigsister ?
For example if mailqueuevalue is  <1000=green  between 1000-1500= yellow 
and >1500= red ?
