Hi there, it would be a nice feature to have CSF/lfd send an email alert (if configured) when auto updating the system.
This would mean that we'd get an update email right before (or after) the checksum checks for the firewall scripts fail. As it is now, on every auto-update we have to check the blog to see if there was an update or if it's a security breach.
Just a suggestion. Thanks for the awesome job on csf.

Re: E-Mail notification of updates
The cron job that runs when csf updates (/etc/cron.d/csf_update) does just that, i.e. the email sent includes a link to the changelog. You should check your root cron job emails to see where it is going.

Oops, my bad, I was totally not checking root's cron emails and assumed csf would email the recipient defined on csf.conf. Thanks for the reply.
