Literature is not exhaustible, for the sufficient and simple reason that no single book is. A book is not an isolated being: it is a relationship, an axis of innumerable relationships.
I'm in the process of migrating a FreeBSD web application server to Ubuntu 6.06 LTS. (There's a very long set of circumstances leading up to this so let's please not sidetrack this into a religious argument.) One thing from FreeBSD that I miss a lot is the daily emails to root that the cronjobs send out, with various security and system audits and the like.

I could hand-convert those cronjobs and scripts and things, but that seems like I'd be reinventing the wheel because surely somebody has implemented this for Linux already. Any ideas?
