About root mail

Ok. After fresh install of centos I usually make two commands first

yum remove posftix sendmail
yum install ssmtp

So I just understand that root (and other users mail) I never receive! Lets fix it. Open /etc/aliases with you favorite nano and scroll to the bottom of the file

# Person who should get root's mail
root:           your@serviceemail.com


After that lets test

echo "test message" | mail root

Check your@serviceemail.com. Thats all!

yum --enablerepo=elrepo-kernel install kernel-ml -y

egrep ^menuentry /etc/grub2.cfg | cut -f 2 -d \'
grub2-set-default 0
reboot
