Just place the following line in your autorun script (assuming you use the shell
script and not the perl script). Placement of this line is based on preference.
At the top to indicate initial boot only (not reboots or crashes), or within the
'if/fi' checks at the bottom to indicate when a reboot or crash occurs. This
will work on any linux or FreeBSD based machine. Not sure the placement of the
sendmail binary on any other unix OS.
