Suggestion: add a short HowTo notify via email for noobs #265
Description
I am no developer or expert, but I would like to run needrestart as part of a monthly bash script run via cron.
I see there is already functionality in there that allows emails to be sent.
On my system (Manjaro Gnome), the system can already sent emails using mail -s "mail subject here" default.
But I cannot figure out how to run needrestart in such a way that it will sent me an email if the system would need a restart after performing updates?
The commandline options don't mention anything, even though there is a "600-mail" script.
The config file doesn't show anything useful about this.
The readme.needrestart doesn't seen to add any useful info about how to make it sent emails.
I am sure its clear for experts how to do it, because most likely this is all part of some sort of methodology. But I am in the dark.
If anyone would be willing to shine a little light, that would be appreciated.
