Gilbert,

You can easily do that yourself. For example, the following crontab(1) entry 
would notify somebody@hostname:

    0,15,30,45 * * * * bin/wasReceived -f NEXRAD2 || mailx -s 'No NEXRAD-II 
data' somebody@hostname </dev/null

Alternatively, if you use sendmail(8) and the delivery agent, then having the 
line "somebody@host" in the file ~ldm/.forward will cause somebody@hostname to 
receive all email sent to the LDM user.

Given the myriad ways this capability could be used, I think it's best if 
wasReceived(1) is kept simple so that user's can incorporate it as needed.
