I had a power outage while I was away from home this morning. Conveniently, nut sends me emails letting me know there was a power failure and again when OMV is shutting down. It would be nice to know when the power has been restored as well. I do not have enough working knowledge of OMV or Linux to know how to set up a custom notification to be triggered when OMV starts up. Can someone help or at least point in the right direction?

Did you configure your OMV System that it starts again when the power has been restored?
To trigger a notification in that case the system has to store the information that it was shut downed because of a power outage before. Not sure if this is provided.

Yes, The system starts when power is restored. I don't necessarily need to save the reason it was shut down because it runs 24/7. An email notification every time the system starts would suffice.

I think that should be solveable by a little script executed at startup. I think in 'scheduled jobs' there is an option to create a job which is executed then.

Thanks. I did this and it worked. I tried to put my script in one of the directories where startup scripts go (init.d, rcS.d) but could not get it to work but the web UI method worked.

For future reference you can add shell code to /etc/rc.local

Yes, this is another method. I remember to have a script called in rc.local which deletes the samba recycle bin after some days because the option in the samba share settings I could not get it to work. Maybe because my system isn´t running 24/7.

This didn´t work for me also. Then I found the solution with /etc/rc.local ... and later the possibility in "scheduled jobs".
