Step 1: create secure.sh
The secure.sh file should have the following environment variables defined:

Step 2: install in crontab
It is recommended the run_monitor.sh is installed in your crontab. I have mine configured to run at the bottom of every hour.
crontab -e
30 * * * * run_monitor.sh >> run.log
That's it! Sit back and relax and wait for the e-mail.
