I am not sure that it is wise to make spaming one person
so easy ;-)
It might make sense to add some more information into
the message. For example:
+ uname -a
+ whether the log was generated using root access
Also people might feel more comfortable if this feature:
+ prints the message
+ printks where it is being sent
+ ask yes/no before doing so
