A script to send mail alerts when issues occur

Here is an example script in Python that sends email alerts when issues occur:

import smtplib
from email.mime.text import MIMEText
from email.mime.multipart import MIMEMultipart
import logging

# Set up logging
logging.basicConfig(level=logging.INFO)

# Set up email settings
SMTP_SERVER = "your_smtp_server"
SMTP_PORT = 587
FROM_EMAIL = "your_from_email"
TO_EMAIL = "your_to_email"
PASSWORD = "your_email_password"

# Set up the email message
msg = MIMEMultipart()
msg["Subject"] = "Issue Alert"
msg["From"] = FROM_EMAIL
msg["To"] = TO_EMAIL

# Define the email body
body = "An issue has occurred. Please investigate."

# Add the email body to the message
msg.attach(MIMEText(body, "plain"))

# Define the function to send the email
def send_email(subject, body):
    msg["Subject"] = subject
    msg.attach(MIMEText(body, "plain"))
    server = smtplib.SMTP(SMTP_SERVER, SMTP_PORT)
    server.starttls()
    server.login(FROM_EMAIL, PASSWORD)
    server.sendmail(FROM_EMAIL, TO_EMAIL, msg.as_string())
    server.quit()

# Define the function to check for issues
def check_for_issues():
    # Replace this with your own issue-checking code
    # For example, you could check for errors in a database or file
    # or check the status of a service or API
    issue_occurred = False
    # If an issue occurs, set issue_occurred to True
    if issue_occurred:
        logging.info("Issue occurred")
        send_email("Issue Alert", body)
    else:
        logging.info("No issues found")

# Run the issue-checking function
check_for_issues()

This script uses the smtplib library to send an email using a SMTP server. It defines two functions: send_email which sends an email with a given subject and body, and check_for_issues which checks for issues and sends an email if an issue is found.

You'll need to replace the placeholders (your_smtp_server, your_from_email, your_to_email, and your_email_password) with your own email settings.

You can also customize the email body and subject to fit your needs.

You can also use other libraries such as twilio or sendgrid to send emails.

You can also use this script as a starting point and modify it to fit your specific use case.

Please note that this is just an example, you should consider security and best practices when sending emails, such as using secure passwords and not hardcoding them in the script.

Also, you can use this script as a cron job or schedule it to run at specific intervals to check for issues and send emails.
