 Login as root and edit the file, ‘~/.bash_profile’. Near the bottom add this:
-  echo -e “Subject: Root Access\n\nALERT – Root Shell Access on: `date`, `who`\n” | ssmtp user@domain.com
+  echo -e “Subject: Root Access\n\nALERT – Root Shell Access on: `date`, `who`\n” | mail -s "Root access" user@domain.com
 Now to test it, log out of root and then log back on as root. You should now get an alert that someone has logged in as root. This script shows the time and user. You can adjust the information accordingly depending on how detailed you want it.
