HOWTO: insert message body in email of cron

[congkai]

We do email crons and we always receive subject "New Message: An error occurred during the backup." (maybe a FTP error).

And in order to know whats wrong, we have to login to our admin panel and check the message system. Thats so troublesome.

And thanks to John from DA Support, he told me a way to attach the body of the message in the email.

cd /usr/local/directadmin/data/templates/custom
cp ../message_user.txt .
nano message_user.txt

insert |MESSAGE| where desired.

for example

|?SUBJECT=New Message: `MESSAGE_SUBJECT`|
A new message or response with subject:

|MESSAGE_SUBJECT|
=====================================================
|MESSAGE|
=====================================================


Follow this link to view it:
|HTTP||DOMAIN|:|PORT|/CMD_TICKET?action=view&number=|NUMBER|&type=ticket

And yes, save it in /usr/local/directadmin/data/templates/custom AND NOT /usr/local/directadmin/data/templates
