Autorun Synology Hyper Backup and Integrity Check with Email Notifications

autorun.sh

#!/bin/sh

# This script is to be used in combination with Synology Autorun:
# - https://github.com/reidemei/synology-autorun
# - https://github.com/Jip-Hop/synology-autorun
#
# You need to change the task_id to match your Hyper Backup task.
# Get it with command: more /usr/syno/etc/synobackup.conf
#
# I like to keep "Beep at start and end" disabled in Autorun, because I don't
# want the NAS to beep after completing (could be in the middle of the night)
# But beep at start is a nice way to confirm the script has started,
# so that's why this script starts with a beep.
#
# After the backup completes, the integrity check will start. 
# Unfortunately in DSM you can't choose to receive email notifications of the integrity check results.
# So there's a little workaround, at the end of this script, to send an (email) notification.
# The results of the integrity check are taken from the synobackup.log file.
#
# In DSM -> Control Panel -> Notification I enabled email notifications,
# I changed its Subject to %TITLE% and the content to:
# Dear user,
#
# Integrity check for %TASK_NAME% is done.
#
# %OUTPUT%
#
# This way I receive email notifications with the results of the Integrity Check.
