Database Monitoring Script Is Now HTMLized

Now dbalarm script for database and server monitoring has its vast majority E-mail alerts in HTML format. This will give the E-mail alerts a friendly look when you check them from your mobile.

For instance, instead of receiving a locked session E-mail alert in TEXT format like this:

You will receive the E-mail alert in HTML format like below:

The script will automatically check if "sendmail" package that sends the emails in HTML format is installed or not on your server, if installed you will receive the email alerts in HTML format, otherwise it will automatically revert to the text format version. you may think it's a small feature, but this feature alone cost me days of coding to make it work :-)
