</blockquote>The text strings used in the message are defined in the file status/lang/en under the Webmin root (usually /usr/libexec/webmin).<br />If you edit that file, the lines to change are the ones starting with monitor_ .<br /><br />Better still, you can create a file named /etc/webmin/status/custom-lang and put into it just the monitor_ lines that you want to override, like :<br /><br />monitor_email_down=3D$2 on $1 down at $3<br /><br />Creating this file is better, as it will be preserved after Webmin is upgraded.<br /><br />=A0- Jamie<br /><br />
