handling errors via mail

[Radu Spineanu]

Hi

I have a small script that runs daemonized and does some basic SQL
operations.

I was wondering if it possible that in case of an exception the program
could send an email with the exception, and at the same time log it in
a file.

I looked over log4r, however I couldn't get it to log exceptions.

Thanks,
Radu Spineanu

Never mind...

begin
loop do
# stuff
sleep 15
end
rescue Exception => rescueError
if (rescueError)
log.fatal rescueError.message
log.fatal rescueError.backtrace.inspect
log.fatal '---------------------------------'
end
end
