[Borgbackup] Remote monitoring of Borg results

[eric]

 Thanks for the great references to a couple of tools. the one thing I haven't solved yet is how to get results from cron without using email. Ideally it should be some sort of a centralized service / channel so I can get all of my chrome results in one place but still have a history so I can go back and look at them later.  

 
Yes, I'm quite aware that I'm replicating the behavior of update by email but unfortunately, at more than one of my clients sites, sending messages out by email is not possible as I don't control the mail system.
 

 
I'm half tempted to set up dedicated email server just to receive system notifications from different clients.
