WL#232: Enable Email Alerts for Critical Errors

Entered by Tom on behalf of Monty.

Suggestion from a student of Kaj's in UK May '01:

ksa> 16. Another follow up on the error log: The audience got a

We have planed to do this when mysqld notices that something really
critical has happened (like running out of disk space).

Notes by Brian:

This can be accomplished through "CREATE EVENT" and a stored procedure and
monitoring. It though may be useful to create "triggers" of sorts on this type
of event.
